An alternative to CFL bulbs and incandescent bulbs are light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. A 60 W incandescent bulb can be replaced by a 12 W LED bulb. Both produce 800 lumens of light. Assuming the cost of electricity is $0.29 per kilowatt-hour, how much does it cost (in dollars) to run the LED bulb for one year if it runs for six hours a day?

Cost = $ 7.62

Explanation:

First we find the energy consumed by the LED bulb during one year, for six hours a day runtime:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Consumed = ?

P = Power = (12 W)(1 KW/ 1000 W) = 0.012 KW

t = time of use = (1 year)(365 days/ 1 year)(6 h/ 1 day) = 2190 h

Therefore,

E = (0.012 KW)(2190 h)

E = 26.28 KWh

Now, we find the cost of running LED:

Cost = (E)(Unit Price)

Cost = (26.28 KWh)($ 0.29/ KWh)

Cost = $ 7.62

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
