Fuel cells have been developed that can generate a large amount of energy. For example, a hydrogen fuel cell works by combining hydrogen and oxygen gas to produce water and electrical energy. If a fuel cell can generate 10.0 kilowatts of power and the current is 15.8 amps, what is the voltage of the electricity?

use the equation P=VI.
P=power (in this case 10 kilowatts or 10000 watts)
V=voltage (in this case unknown)
I=current (in this case 15.8 amps)
rewrite the equation to be V=P/I
V=(10000 watts)/(15.8 amps)
V=632.9 volts
(I think the equation requires the units for power to be watts so you need to convert kilowatts into watts)
