P = 456.97 HP
2. A mechanic uses a dynamometer to simulate an auto mobile
HP loss = Elevation in feet ÷ 1000 × 0.03× Sea Level HP
being driven up a hill at 1900 feet in altitude. The engine is
HP loss = 1900 ÷ 1000 × 0.03× 255
rated at 255 hp at 5200 rpm. What is the loss in horsepower
HP loss = 1.9 × 0.03× 255
due to elevation? What would be the Final HP?
HP loss = 0.057 × 255
HP loss = 14.54 hp
Final HP = Sea Level HP - HP Loss
Final HP = 255 -14.54 = 240.46 hp

Compare problem #7 with problem #8. Explain how
In problem #7 you are asked to add 5 + 7 + 3 first, then add 3 +
someone may make the mistake of thinking they are the
2, and finally divide the two answers (5 + 7 + 3)/(3 + 2). In
same problem.
problem #8, the first thing to do is divide 3 by 3 and then add 5
+ 7 + 1 + 2.
