We are given:

Time period: 3 days and 18 hours

Energy consumed in given time period: 5400 watt-hours

Converting time to hours:

We know that one day is 24 hours

So, 3 days = 72 hours

Time period = 3 days + 18 hours

Time period = 72 hours + 18 hours

Time period = 90 hours

Converting to days

Time period = 3.75 days

Watt-hour consumption in a day:

Consumption = 5400 watt-hours / 3.75 days

Consumption = 1440 watt-hours/day
