To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the relationship between watts and horsepower. While horsepower is a traditional unit for measuring power, watts are the standard unit in the International System of Units (SI).
One horsepower is equal to 746 watts. So, to find the equivalent horsepower rating of a 750-watt motor, you divide 750 by 746:
750 watts ÷ 746 watts/horsepower = 1.0067 horsepower (approximately)
Therefore, a 750-watt motor is approximately equal to 1 horsepower. Therefore, the answer is option B: 1-horsepower motor.
