The weight-to-horsepower ratio is calculated as:
\[ \text{Weight-to-HP Ratio} = \frac{\text{Vehicle Weight (lbs)}}{\text{Engine Horsepower (HP)}} \]
The weight-to-horsepower ratio is a measure of the performance of a vehicle. It is calculated by dividing the vehicle's weight by its engine horsepower. A lower ratio indicates better performance.
Consider a vehicle with a weight of 3000 lbs and an engine horsepower of 250 HP:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Weight-to-HP Ratio} = \frac{3000}{250} = 12 \text{ lbs/HP} \]
This means the vehicle has a weight-to-horsepower ratio of 12 lbs/HP.
