![### Problem 12
An individual running on a treadmill machine generated an average power of approximately 0.27 hp. Express this power in Watts.
---
**Solution:**
1 horsepower (hp) is equivalent to approximately 745.7 Watts (W). To convert horsepower to Watts, multiply the given power in horsepower by 745.7.
**Calculation:**
\[
0.27 \, \text{hp} \times 745.7 \, \text{W/hp} = 201.339 \, \text{W}
\]
Therefore, the power generated by the individual on the treadmill is approximately **201.34 Watts**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe0e51a82-0555-49b1-a211-62f7b12c21bf%2F0f621c2c-e432-41f6-a90d-a660e2711032%2Fjiv7sk_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
