If 1,790 Mega Watts of power, out of the 3,000 Mega Watts generated by a power utility, reach the destination, what percentage of the generated power reaches its destination?
1,790 - 3,000 = 1,210
1,790 divided by 1,210 = 1.4
Answer 1.4% Unsure
3000 is the generated power; 1790 is the amount reaching the destination.
1790/3000 = ?
Im getting 1.98
How can you divide 1790 by 3,000 and get almost 2?
1.98 is almost 2. When I divide 3,000 by 1790 I get 1.67 plus a row of numbers after that.
Please read both my and PsyDAG's directions carefully.
To find the percentage of power that reaches its destination, you need to calculate the ratio of the power delivered to the destination to the total power generated, and then multiply it by 100 to get the percentage.
In this case, the power delivered to the destination is given as 1,790 Mega Watts, and the total power generated is 3,000 Mega Watts.
To calculate the ratio, divide the power delivered to the destination by the total power generated:
1,790 Mega Watts / 3,000 Mega Watts = 0.59667
To convert this ratio to a percentage, multiply it by 100:
0.59667 * 100 = 59.67
Therefore, approximately 59.67% (or about 59.7%) of the generated power reaches its destination.
