An administrator has a UPS rated at 200 amps per hour.
Which of the following is the maximum runtime of this UPS when hooked up to a server drawing 400 amps per hour?

A. B. C. D.B.
To calculate the maximum runtime of a UPS, we need to use the formula:
runtime = (UPS rating in amp-hours) / (total power draw in amps)
Here, the UPS is rated at 200 amps per hour, and the server is drawing 400 amps per hour. So, we can substitute these values into the formula:
runtime = 200 / 400
Simplifying this equation, we get:
runtime = 0.5 hours
Since the question is asking for the answer in minutes, we need to convert 0.5 hours to minutes:
0.5 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 30 minutes
Therefore, the maximum runtime of this UPS when hooked up to a server drawing 400 amps per hour is 30 minutes.
So, the correct answer is option B: 30 minutes.
