Answer:

The current of the toaster is 3.93A

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the GRASS method:

G: Given: The information that is given is that we have 28Ω of Resistance and 110V of voltage.

R: Required: We need to find the current measured.

A: Action: We can use Ohm's law that relates resistance, voltage and current in the equation:

V = R*I

Or:

I = V/R

Where I is current in A, V is voltage = 110V and R is resistance = 28Ω

S: Solve:

I = 110V / 28Ω

I = 3.93A

S: Statement:

The current of the toaster is 3.93A
