Answer:

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 1220 Watts

Time = 30 * 30 = 900 minutes to hours = 900/60 = 15 hours

To find the energy consumption;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

[tex] Power = \frac {Energy}{time} [/tex]

Making energy the subject of formula, we have;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 1220 * 15

Energy = 18300 Joules

To convert energy to Kilowatt-hour;

Energy = 18300/1000

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour
