Answer:

44.09 pounds

Explanation:

We got that 20 % of the mass of a nutty chocolate bar its pecans, if 4.0 kg of pecans were used, we need to find the X in the equation

0.2 * X = 4.0 \ kg

where X its the total mass of nutty chocolate bars produced. So, we can just divide by 0.2 on both sides, and we find:

X = 4.0 kg / 0.2

X = 20.0 \ kg

Of course, we need the total mass produced in pounds, and not in kilograms.  Looking at an conversion table, we can find that 1 kg its 2.20462 pounds, multiplying the value for total mass produced by the conversion factor we get:

X = 20.0 \ kg * 2.20462 \ \frac{pounds}{kg}

X = 44.0924 \ pounds

Now, we just need to round off to two significant figures. This is:

X = 44.09 \ pounds,

the total mass of nutty chocolate bars  made last Tuesday to two significant figures.

Why is it important to be able to trace the pole connection on a meter back to the same type of pole at the electrical source?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection.

In areas where the neutral is grounded or earthed, it is essential to endure that the neutral and the live or hot wires are not confused for each other.

When this happens, the fuses on the transformer will not operate unless the fault is very close to the transformer. The fuses in the consumer's intake box, will not operate.
