2. Suppose the electricity in your region was supplied by the burning of natural gas. a. How many cubic feet of natural gas is needed to support your energy lifestyle each year

36,400 cubic feet of natural gas would be required.

Explanation:

To answer that, we need to understand the concept of energy equivalence. This concept states that it is necessary to have a conversion of values to know how one form of energy can replace another form without harming the quality of the system in which the energy is required.

In this case, to answer your question it is necessary to first multiply the quantity in unit of measurement of the fuel under analysis by the conversion factor to obtain the equivalent amount in cubic feet of natural gas, after that, it must be considered that 1 million BTU (1 MMBTU) = 26.8 cubic feet of natural gas.
