computing networks. - They are easy to scale up and down based on computing needs...
Explanation of Solution
Normalization and its contribution to relational database
- Normalization is the process of creating small stable data structures from complex groups of data when designing a relational database.
- Normalization streamlines relational database design by removing redundant data such as repeating data groups.
- A well-designed relational database will be organized around the information needs of the business and will probably be in some normalized form.
- A database that is not normalized will have problems with insertion, deletion, and modification...
Explanation of Solution
Entity relationship diagram and its role in database design

Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided.
