FA#4-Television
To solve this, first take the number of televisions per capita in the U.S. (~702.6/1000) and multiply that by the number of people in the U.S (~303,000,000). The answer is 212,887,800. Next, multiply the number of televisions by the amount of power a single television consumes (~.5 kw/h). The answer is 106,443,900 (~1.06E8) kw, so FA#4=8.
