Question

the passage below describes an experiment. franklin filled eight compost bins with food scraps. he added worms to four of the bins and did not add worms to the other four. he left the bins outside in the same location, so they experienced the same temperature and humidity. after one month, franklin measured the percentage of food scraps remaining in each bin. identify the question that the experiment can best answer. do food scraps decompose more quickly when left in a more humid environment? do food scraps decompose more quickly when mixed with worms or when not mixed with worms?

Explanation:

This question sets up a comparison between two conditions (with - worms and without - worms) to determine the impact on the decomposition rate of food scraps, which is the main focus of the experiment described.

Answer:

Do food scraps decompose more quickly when mixed with worms or when not mixed with worms?
