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.
The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.
The drop in physical activity is partly due to inaction during leisure time and sedentary behaviour on the job and at home. Likewise, an increase in the use of "passive" modes of transportation also contributes to insufficient physical activity.
