\n" ); document.write( "A generator in an electrical power produces 10 MW (megawatts) of electrical power in one hour. A second generator produces 2.5 times as much power as the first, and a third generator produces 50% of the power of the first two combined. How long does it take the 3 generators to produce 210 MW of power? \n" ); document.write( "
