Answer:
4477381.7 calories/pound
Explanation:
It is given that,
When a candle burns it produced 41,300 Joules per 1 gram.
We need to convert it into calories per pound.
We know that,
1 cal = 4.184 J
⇒ 1 J = (1/4.184) cal
1 pound = 453.592 grams
⇒1 g = (1/453.592) pounds
Now,
[tex]41300\ \text{Joules per gram}=\dfrac{41300\ \text{Joules}}{\text{gram}}\\\\=41300\times \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4.184}\ \text{calories}}{\dfrac{1}{453.592}\ \text{gram}}\\\\=4477381.7\ \text{calories/pound}[/tex]
Hence, 41,300 Joules/gram = 4477381.7 calories/pound.
