To solve this problem, I need to convert Eric's car's horsepower into kilowatts, using the given conversion factor. I can write this as a fraction: $\frac{500 \text{ hp}}{1} \cdot \frac{1 \text{ kW}}{1.36 \text{ hp}}$. The units of hp cancel out, leaving me with $\frac{500}{1.36} \text{ kW}$. Using a calculator, I get $\frac{500}{1.36} \approx 367.6471$. Rounding to the nearest kilowatt, I get $368 \text{ kW}$. 
Eric's sports car's specifications include a $500$ metric horsepower engine. Eric wants to know how many kilowatts of power his car's engine can generate. What result should Eric obtain if $1$ kilowatt is equivalent to $1.36$ horsepower? (You may use a calculator on this problem; answer to the nearest kilowatt.)
