Energy Efficiency Mastery Check

Energy​ (a)   is how much of the energy is actually used, while energy ​ (b)   is using less energy.

• efficiency
• conservation
• wastefulness
• expenditure
• surplus

If 19 out of 100 gallons of gas is actually used to run the vehicle and the other 81 gallons is wasted, then gasoline is ___ efficient.

• 20% efficient
• 50% efficient
• 10% efficient
• 19% efficient

Answer explanation

Divide the part (19) by the whole (100) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. So 19/100*100 = 19%

No device is ever 100% efficient because some energy is always lost as (a)   .
