Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \( 1 \text{ Btu} = 1055.06 \text{ joules} \) (approximately). To convert joules to Btus, we use the formula: \( \text{Value in Btus} = \frac{\text{Value in joules}}{1055.06} \)

Step2: Substitute the given value

We have \( 57281 \) joules. So we calculate \( \frac{57281}{1055.06} \)

Step3: Perform the division

\( \frac{57281}{1055.06} \approx 54.3 \)

Answer:

A. 54.3 Btus
