Answer:

The average current will be of 6.36 A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The anode capacity of magnesium is C = 550 A*h/lb

A month has 30 days.

A day has 24 hours.

Therefore 3 months have:

t = 3 * 30 * 24 = 2160 hours.

The average current is then:

I = C * m / t

I = 550 * 25 / 2160 = 6.36 A

The average current will be of 6.36 A.
