@ganeshie8 @zepdrix @e.mccormick @dan815 @sammixboo @confluxepic @One098 @sleepyjess

OpenStudy (one098):

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.

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

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??

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

@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 (one098):

But its 60, not 69.

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

My bad I accidently typed 69 in the posting box! My bad!

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

But if 60 not the answer than what can it be?

OpenStudy (one098):

Try, 216.

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Nope. Still no. :(

OpenStudy (one098):

>_< I dont know where I went wrong...

OpenStudy (one098):

I'm sorry.

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

It's ok. I don't know either. Thanks for helping me though! :)

OpenStudy (one098):

:| You're welcome.
