@shadow perhaps

zarkam21:

so 75 * 2

Shadow:

You have to convert from watts to kw first

Shadow:

\[\frac{ 75watts }{ 1 } \times \frac{ 1 kw }{ 1000 watts } = 0.075 kw\]

Shadow:

Hours in two weeks: \[24 \times 7 \times 2 = 336 hours\]

zarkam21:

0.075*336

Shadow:

Correct

zarkam21:

the first blank would be 0.075

Shadow:

No, remember 0.075 was obtained from converting 75 watts into kw, which is 0.075 kw. That is not kw-hour.

Shadow:

You converted from watts to kw earlier, then from kw to kw-hour. Just apply the same steps. I already got the value of the # of hours in a week for you.

zarkam21:

1/1000=x/336

zarkam21:

That :/

Shadow:

what is that

Shadow:

0.075 kw to kw-hour = 0.075 times 336 I don't know what you're solving for now.

zarkam21:

25.2

Shadow:

Yes, in kw-hour

zarkam21:

yay so to get the price it would be just multiplying it so 25.2 * 11.25

Shadow:

yes

zarkam21:

283.5

zarkam21:

okay so that would be thelast blank

zarkam21:

now to figure out the blender

Shadow:

Start by converting 500 watts to kw

zarkam21:

\[\frac{ 500 watts }{ 1 }*\frac{ 1Kw }{ 1000 } = 0.5\]

zarkam21:

0.5*0.5=0.25

Shadow:

mhm, you know what to do next right?

zarkam21:

0.25 would be the Kw-hour and then 0.25*0.09=0.0225

Shadow:

Why did you convert to dollars? xD

Shadow:

I think they are fine with you leaving it in cents.

zarkam21:

Wait what? What are you talking about lol

Shadow:

9 cents = $0.09

zarkam21:

Yeah so wouldn't it be 0.25*0.09=0.0225

Shadow:

Only if you want it in dollars If you do it in cents you do: 9 times 0.25 = 2.25 cents A much more elegant number than 0.0225
