Question

A light bulb consumes 11700 watt-hours in 3 days and 6 hours. How many watt hours does it consume per day?

Answer 1

3600 watt-hours consumed per day.

Explanation:

First we'll want to find how many hours are in 3 days and 6 hours.

3 x 24 = 72 + 6 = 78

78 hours is 3 days and 6 hours.

We then divide 11700 by 78 to find out how many watt-hours it will consume per hour.

11700 / 78 = 150

Now that we know how many watt-hours it will consume per hour, we can multiply it by 24 to find out how many it will consume in a day.

150 x 24 = 3600
