Question

If there are 745 watts for every horsepower, how many horses would it take to power a single hundred-watt light bulb?

Answer 1

0.14 (rounded to the nearest hundreth)(full answer: 0.13544323097)

Answer 2

Answer:

The horse power is 0.1340 hp.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horse power = 745 watts

One horsepower is about 745 watts.

Since the bulb consume 100 watt of power

We need to calculate the horse power

$P_{hp}=\dfrac{P_{w}}{745}$

$P_{hp}=\dfrac{100}{745}$

$P_{hp}=0.1342\ hp$

Hence, The horse power is 0.1342 hp.
