Which of the following formulas can Maria use to determine the number of kilowatt-hours of electricity she needs to power her cell phone for a certain number of minutes?
- A. n = pm
- B.
- C.
- D. n = p + m
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B
The question asks for an equation in terms of a specific variable. Although there are variables in the answer choices, plugging in on this question would be difficult given the number of variables.
