6th grade Q4

To understand electric consumption, let's consider a scenario involving two readings from an electric meter. Suppose the initial reading on the electric meter at the beginning of the month is 1,250 kWh (kilowatt-hours), and at the end of the month, the reading is 1,450 kWh.

To find the total electric consumption for the month, we subtract the initial reading from the final reading:

Thus, the household consumed 200 kWh of electricity over the month. This calculation helps in understanding how much electricity was used and can be useful for budgeting and energy-saving measures.
