Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula P = VI to calculate the power (in watts) used by the electric range, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes.

Given that the current is 11 amps and the voltage is 240 volts, we have:

P = VI = 11 A x 240 V = 2640 watts

Therefore, the electric range uses 2640 watts of power.

Since it is used an average of 1 hour per day, we can calculate the energy consumed per day by multiplying the power by the time:

Energy consumed = Power x Time = 2640 watts x 1 hour = 2640 watt-hours per day.
