Question

A light bulb consumes 1440 watt hours per day. How long does it take to consume 8280 watt hours

Answer 1

5.75 days

Explanation:

Write a proportion:

1440 Wh / 1 day = 8280 Wh / x

Cross multiply:

1440 x = 8280

Solve for x:

x = 5.75

It takes 5.75 days.

Answer 2

If 1,440 watts are used per day then you just divide.

8,280 / 1,440 = 5.75 or 5 days and 18 hours.
