Answer:

The average power use in watts is 806.

Explanation:

The month of May has 31 days and 1 day is 24 hours. So May has:

31*24=744 hours

Now, we divide 600 kW-hr by the number of hours in the month (744 hrs) to get average power use:

600/744 = 0.80645161. kW. Since 1000 Watts = 1 kW, we multiply this by 1000 to get the answer in Watts:

0.80645161 * 1000 = 806 Watts

"The average power use is 806 watts."
