i) energy consumed in 1 hour, W= P * t, 1 hour = 60s = t; 250W = P. If you fill in the given formula you'd find the energy used in 1hour. the unit of W is in Joules or Wh.

ii) since the supply is the same our P will stay the same and so you can find t by reformulating the previous formula like this t=W/P, 1000Wh = W (changed it to SI unit instead of kWh which is 1000 times greater than Wh the SI unit); 250W = P. fill in the formula and your result will be the time in seconds.
