If an electric kettle uses 2 1/4 kilowatts of energy in 1.5 hours, how much energy will it use in 3.5 hours?

The energy used in 3.5 hours = 5.25 kilowatts            

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy used by electric kettle:  

Time taken by electric kettle:

Electric kettle's rate in kilowatts per hour can be calculated by dividing the spent energy i.e. 2.25 kilowatts by the time taken i.e. 1.5 hours.

Therefore,

Electric kettle's rate = 2.25 kilowatts / 1.5 hour

                                  = 1.5 kilowatts per hour

Thus, the energy used in 3.5 hours = 1.5 × 3.5

                                                           = 5.25 kilowatts

Therefore, the energy used in 3.5 hours = 5.25 kilowatts                        

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
