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

The horse power is 0.1340 hp.

Step-by-step 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)=(P_(w))/(745)`

`P_(hp)=(100)/(745)`

`P_(hp)=0.1342\ hp`

Hence, The horse power is 0.1342 hp.
