Answer:

3.6 MJ

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kWh = 1 MJ

Remember that this is the same as the equation Power×time = Energy

Step 1: Convert kWh (kiloWatt×hour) to Ws (Watt×second)

1 kW = 1000 Watt

1 h = 60 min×60 sec = 3600 seconds

1000 W×3600s = 3600000 Joules

Divide 3600000 J by 10^6 to get 3.6 Mega Joules
