S. Next, look at the uial to the iight. The
aiiow is iight on the "1," so wiite that
uown.
4. The next uial is on the "1"

of "8," the smallei numbei.
6. The last uial is iight on the "9"

calculate a uay's usage, wiite uown the numbei
shown, making suie to also take note of the
exact time. The next uay at the same time, wiite
uown the numbei of kilowatts pei houi.
Subtiact the pievious uay's usage fiom the
cuiient one, anu you will have the amount of
