Megawatt Conversion Dff26F
1. **State the problem:** Marcus conjectures that 1 megawatt (MW) equals 100 kilowatts (kW). We need to verify if this is correct and convert 630 MW to kW and watts (W).
2. **Recall the conversion rules:**
- 1 MW = 1,000,000 watts (W)
- 1 kW = 1,000 watts (W)
3. **Convert 1 MW to kW:**
Since 1 kW = 1,000 W, then
$$1\text{ MW} = 1,000,000\text{ W} = \frac{1,000,000}{1,000} = 1,000\text{ kW}$$
4. **Check Marcus's conjecture:**
Marcus said 1 MW = 100 kW, but the correct conversion is 1 MW = 1,000 kW.
Therefore, Marcus's conjecture is **incorrect**.
5. **Convert 630 MW to kW:**
$$630\text{ MW} = 630 \times 1,000\text{ kW} = 630,000\text{ kW}$$
6. **Convert 630 MW to W:**
$$630\text{ MW} = 630 \times 1,000,000\text{ W} = 630,000,000\text{ W}$$
**Final answers:**
- Marcus's conjecture is incorrect.
- 630 MW = 630,000 kW = 630,000,000 W
