Step-by-step explanation:

it would have been easier and faster to just look it up on the internet.

this is like in the computer world too (for storage and memory sizes) .

we typically use "kilo", "mega", "giga", "tera", ... to express large quantities.

kilo means 1000

mega means million (1000000)

giga means billion (1000000000)

and so on

so, 5 MW are 5 million Watts. or 5000000 Watts.
