![13. A fish meal sample has the following composition: protein 20%, moisture 12%, additive 66%. The
sample is placed in a drying oven and subsequent analysis gave a value of 22% protein. Calculate
the % moisture content of the dried sample.
14. 1.000 g of soil, as-received, gave a moisture content of 14.00%. The oven-dried sample, completely
moisture-free, showed 18.00% K. Find the percentage of K in the sample as received.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F273facc1-96b2-4032-b924-3e8ed9ae2525%2Fc911c114-9973-4e6a-8d91-3ef26751e1a9%2Frd0tmtg_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
