Question

A watt is the basic unit measurement of electrical power. Suppose you are running the air conditioner, the washing machine, the clothing dryer, two computers, four light bulbs, the refrigerator, and two televisions Use the chart at the right and calculate how much wattage you might need in this situation. Show your k = write an inequality that shows what the available wattage must be greater than​

Answer 1

Considerations based on the wattage of the available appliances are required when designing for the electricity.

• The required wattage inequality is; Available wattage > 10,460 Watts

Reasons:

The items used and the possible power consumption obtained from a similar are as follows;

Appliance ${}$                                      Average power (Watts)

One air conditioner;  ${}$                     3,500

Washing machine; ${}$                         500

Clothing dryer;  ${}$                              5,000

Computers × 2;  ${}$                             70 × 2 = 140

Light bulbs × 4;  ${}$                             60 × 4 = 240

Refrigerator;  ${}$                                  600

Television × 2;  ${}$                               240 × 2 = 480

The power, P, in watts that might be needed is found as follows;

Power, P = 3,500 + 500 + 5,000 + 140 + 240 + 600 + 480 = 10,460

The electric power in watts that might be needed, P = 10,460 Watts

Therefore;

The available wattage must be greater than 10,460 Watts

The inequality is; Available wattage > 10,460 Watts
