Convert between energy units. c. 4.99 × 103 kJ to kWh

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the conversion factor between kilojoules (kJ) and kilowatt-hours (kWh). The conversion factor is 1 kWh = 3600 kJ.
Write down the given energy in kilojoules, which is 4.99 \(\times\) 10^3 kJ.
Set up the conversion equation using the conversion factor. You want to convert kJ to kWh, so divide the energy in kJ by the conversion factor (3600 kJ/kWh).
Perform the division to convert the energy from kJ to kWh. This involves dividing 4.99 \(\times\) 10^3 kJ by 3600 kJ/kWh.
The result from the division will give you the energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
