C. 1,000 horsepower > 1 watt

D. 1,000 Watt = 100 horsepower

Answer 1

The correct options are B and C

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can easily convert everything to the same units

1 horse power = 745,7 watts

So,

A. 10 horsepower < 5,000 Watts

7457 Watts < 5,000 Watts

(Not true)

B. 1,000 watt > 1 horsepower

1,000 W > 745.7 W

(TRUE)

C. 1,000 horsepower > 1 watt

745700 W > 1 W

(TRUE)

D. 1,000 Watt = 100 horsepower

1000 W = 74570 W

(Not true)
