What do you think?
OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
I thought it was 60000, but my answer was wrong...
sammixboo (sammixboo):
I can't help with this :P I totally forgot how to do this~
OpenStudy (one098):
Well use this formula:
\[\frac{ watts }{ 1000 }\times hours used\]
If you didnt get that, its watts/1000 x hours used.

Thanks anyway! @sammixboo
OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
I thought you would use electrical energy= power x time?
OpenStudy (one098):
Well the formula I gave you is to find kwh.
OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
What does my formula find?
OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
So the answer is 1.44??

@One098 ??
OpenStudy (one098):
Sorry, had to do something.. and well use the formula I gave you. Divide 60/1000 then multiply that by 1000.
OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
Sorry, wait, ok now I got the answer 60?
OpenStudy (one098):
Yes.
OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
But the computer program I'm using says 69 is not an answer! :(

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
But if 60 not the answer than what can it be?
OpenStudy (one098):
