Answer 1

42,504 watts

Explanation:

154x276hours=42,504watts

Answer 2

42504

Explanation:

As it uses 154 watt-hours per hour, in 276 hours, it would use 42504 as we would multiply the energy usage by the amount of hours used:

154 watt-hours = 1 hour

276 hours = 42504 watt-hours

276*154 = 42504
