Question 3 WHAT THE SYMBOLS MEAN: E = Energy in kilowatt hours P = Power of the appliance in kilowatts t = Time in hours PROBLEM: A 2 kilowatt electric fire used 12 kilowatt hours of electrical energy. How long was the fire switched on for? FORMULA: E = P x t E = 12 kWh P = 2 kW t = ?
FORMULA: E = P x t Question 3 E = 12 kWh P = 2 kW t = ? Substitute these numbers into the formula (write “12” instead of “E” and “2” instead of “P”): 12 = 2 x t THINK! If 2 x t = 12 hours, what is t? CLICK TO SEE IF YOU’RE RIGHT t = 6 hours
Question 4a Number of houses using Gas for heating = 10 Number of houses using Oil for heating = 5 Number of houses using Coal for heating = 20 Number of houses using Electricity for heating = 5 Total number of houses= = 40 houses Part b
Question 4b Number of houses using Gas for heating = 10 = ¼ of total Number of houses using Oil for heating = 5 = 1/8 of total Number of houses using Coal for heating = 20 = ½ of total Number of houses using Electricity for heating = 5 = 1/8 of total Total number of houses= 40 houses Look for a pie chart shaded in these proportions: Answer: A Click for answer
