Question

Renu had one CFL and one LED bulb. The CFL is of 8W. If the ratio of the power consumption of the LED bulbs to the CFL bulb is 3:2, then which LED she have?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12W

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = power consumption of the LED bulbs.

Writing the ratio as a fraction;

$\frac{LED}{CFL} = \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{8}$

Cross multiplying, we have;

$24 = 2x$

$x = \frac{24}{2}$

x = 12

Therefore, the power consumption of the LED bulbs is 12W.

R

x = 12W

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = power consumption of the LED bulbs.

Writing the ratio as a fraction;

$\frac{LED}{CFL} = \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{8}$

Cross multiplying, we have;

$24 = 2x$

$x = \frac{24}{2}$

x = 12

Therefore, the power consumption of the LED bulbs is 12W.

Ratio; $\frac{LED}{CFL} = \frac{3}{2} = \frac{24}{8}$
