Question

A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much energy is this in joules?

Answer

Given:
Energy consumed = 250\text{ units}
1\text{ unit} = 1\text{ kilowatt-hour (kWh)}
1\text{ kWh} = 3.6 \times 10^6\text{ J}

Calculation:
Energy in Joules = 250 \times 3.6 \times 10^6\text{ J}
= 900 \times 10^6\text{ J}
= 9 \times 10^8\text{ J}

Answer:
The energy consumed is 9 \times 10^8\text{ J}.
