Hello!

The answer is 31.67 Amps.

Why?

To solve the problem, we need to use Ohm's Law equation, which states that:


V=IR

Where,

V, is the voltage (in volts)

I, is the current (in Amps)

R, is the resistance (in Ohms)

We are given the following information:


Voltage=190v\\Resistance=6\Omega\\

So, using Ohm's Law equation and substituting the given information, we have:


V=IR\\\\190v=I*6\Omega\\\\I=(190v)/(6\Omega)=31.67Amps

Hence, we have that the current used by the blender is 31.67Amps.

Have a nice day!
