Question

If the average person in the United States uses 10,000 watts of energy, 24 hours a day, for 365 days per year, how many KW of energy does the average person use in a year?

Answer 1

87600KW

Step-by-step explanation:

IW is equal to 0.001kW

hence 10,000W is equal to 10KW

Thus an average American consumes 10KW of energy per hour.

To get the energy consumed by an average person in a year, multiply the amount of energy consumed an hour by the number of hours that make a day and the number of days in a year.

that is;

10KW x 24hrs x 365 days

Amount of energy usage in a year = 87600KW.
