if 5000 watts are used for 25 hours in a month
then how many KILOWATT HOURS are used in a month?

hexagon001 · Answer

thats watt hours though.
you need to convert it to KILOWATTS

anonymous · Answer

ok so.. then I would multiply by months?

hexagon001 · Answer

you have the answer125,000 WATTSHOUR.
the only thing you need to do now is convert the watt hour to kilowatt hour
use this: 1000 WATTS =1KILOWATT
