kWh per year, how many households can it serve? Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.

1 answer

To determine how many households can be served by a certain amount of kWh per year, you typically need to know two key pieces of information: the total available kWh per year and the average kWh consumption per household per year.

Assuming:

  • Total available energy: \( E \) kWh per year
  • Average consumption per household: \( H \) kWh per household per year

The number of households (\( N \)) that can be served would be calculated using the formula:

\[ N = \frac{E}{H} \]

To express that in scientific notation, if \( N \) equals, for example, 25,000 households, you would express this as:

\[ N = 2.5 \times 10^4 \]

Please provide the specific values for \( E \) and \( H \) to calculate the number of households that can be served in scientific notation to the exact decimal place.
