Answer:

The average power use is 806 watts....

Explanation:

We all know that there are 31 days in May.

To find the total number of hours in 31 days, multiply the hours of one day by 31.

31*24 = 744 hours

Now we have given 600.kilowatt

To find average power, simply divide the given kilowatt by the total number of hours in 31 days.

= 600/744

Average power = 0.806 kilowatt

Since they have asked for the answer in watts we will convert kilowatt into watts.

We know that 1000 watts = 1 kilowatt, so we will multiply 0.806 by 1000 to convert it into watts

= 0.806*1000

= 806 watts.

Therefore the average power use is 806 watts....
