Energy = (power) x (time)
-- <u>For the toaster:</u>
Power = 1.4 kW = 1,400 watts
Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds
Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s) = 453,600 Joules
-- <u>For the CFL bulb:</u>
Power = 11 watts
Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds
Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s) = 415,800 Joules
-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.
-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.
-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.
-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.
-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.
-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.
