How Many 59-W Light Bulbs Can be Powered by 834-kWh of Energy?

Your electricity bill says 834-kWh of consumption. With this amount of energy, how many 59-W light bulbs can be powered for an average of 7 hours?

Answer:

2019 light bulbs

Explanation:

So the electrical energy consumed by each 59-W light bulb within 7 hours is the product of the power and time duration.

E = Pt = 59 * 7 = 413 Wh or 0.413 kWh

If each light bulb consumes 0.413 kWh, then the total number of light bulbs needed to consume 834 kWh would be:

834 / 0.413 = 2019 light bulbs
