What is the correct conversion from watts to kilowatts?

• A. 0.01
• B. 0.001
• C. 1000
• D. 0.1

Answer: (B)

Kilowatt equals 1000 watts. To convert from watts to kilowatts, divide by 1000. So 1 W = 0.001 kW, 1000 W = 1 kW, etc. That’s why 0.001 kW is the correct conversion for 1 watt. The other values would correspond to different watt amounts (for example, 0.01 kW is 10 W, 0.1 kW is 100 W, and 1000 kW is 1,000,000 W).
