Question 1:
On a particular day, the following appliances are used for the times indicated: a 1600-W coffee maker, 12 min, and a 1100-W microwave oven, 4.9 min. With these power requirements, find how much it costs to use these appliances at an electrical cost of 6¢ per kWh. (Do not round your final answer. Fractional cent values are acceptable.)
1600W for 12 minutes is
1.6KW for 12/60 hours
which is 1.6*12/60 KW hours = 0.32KW hours
At 6c/KWh that is
0.32*6=$1.92
Now you can work out the microwave oen yourself. :)
