Answer 1

Solutions

1 BTU = 1055.06 joules .

To calculate,152 BTU of energy

We know 1055.06 joules in each one of them

Calculations =

(1,152 BTU) x (1,055.06 joule/BTU)

= 1,215,429.12 joules .

Choice (B) is your answer

Answer 2

In order to make any headway with this one, it might help
to know how many joules there are in one BTU, ya reckon ?

I went and looked it up on line, you're welcome.

1 BTU = 1055.06 joules .

So if you happen to have 1,152 BTU of energy,
there are 1055.06 joules in each one of them,
and the total is

(1,152 BTU) x (1,055.06 joule/BTU)

= 1,215,429.12 joules .

Scanning the choices for anything close, we notice that choice-'b'
is only about 0.006% less than my answer. So that must be the one
they're fishing for, and they must have used 1055-even for their
conversion factor.
