Question:
Two hypothetical organic waste streams A and B are mixed prior to the composting process. Waste-A has 2.16% of C and 1.20% of N. Waste-B has 19.10% of C and 0.14% of N. The quantity of Waste-B that should be mixed with per kg of Waste-A to achieve the desired C:N ratio of 25 is ________ kg (rounded off to 2 decimal places). Assume both the waste streams are completely dry.
