Answer 1

2.40 × 10²

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

we have to convert 820,000 Btu/h to kW

Now,

1 kW = 3412.142 Btu/h

or we can say

1 Btu/h = 0.00029307107 kW

Therefore,

820,000 Btu/hr in kW will be

= 820,000 × 0.00029307107 =

or

= 240.3182774

or

= 2.40 × 10²

Hence,

according to the question, X will be 2.4 and the term in the power of 10 is 2
