Answer:
The number of turbines is 74
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- Four 3 megawatt wind turbines can supply enough electricity
to power 3000 homes
∴ The number of turbines is 4
∵ Each turbine give 3 megawatt
∴ The four turbines give ⇒ 4 × 3 = 12 megawatt
- This quantity give enough electricity to power 3000 homes
∴ The number of homes for the 12 megawatt is 3000
- We need to find how many turbines can cover enough electricity
to power 55,000 homes, so we must to know the quantity of
electricity that be enough to power 55,000 homes
* <em>Lets use the cross multiplication to solve the problem</em>
∵ megawatt : number of homes
12 : 3,000
? : 55,000
- <em>By using cross multiplication</em>
∴
∴ The enough electricity to power 3000 homes = 220 megawatt
∵ Each turbine gives 3 megawatt
- Find the number of turbines divides the total megawatt by the the
megawatt of one turbine
∴ The number of turbines = 220 ÷ 3 = 73.3
- If we take 73 only the electricity will not be enough to cover all
homes, so we must to take 74 turbines
∴ The number of turbines is 74
