Question

I AM SO STUCK!

In a candy factory, the nutty chocolate bars contain 19.0% pecans by mass. If 4.0 kg of pecans were used for candy last Tuesday, how many pounds of nutty chocolate bars were made? Express your answer to two sig figs.
I can't figure out how to start the conversion factor.

Answer 1

1kg is about 2.2 pounds. So 4kg = 8.8 pounds. If that represent 19% of the total, here is the answer.
0.19*x=8.8
x=8.8/0.19
x=46.31 pounds
