Rate of Consumption Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Rate of Consumption is:

\[ ROC = \frac{Q}{D} \]

Where:

\(ROC\) is the rate of consumption (units per hour)
\(Q\) is the total quantity consumed (units)
\(D\) is the duration over which the quantity was consumed (hours)

What is Rate of Consumption?

Rate of consumption is a measure of how quickly a resource is used over a specified period of time. It is often used in various fields such as energy management, resource planning, and environmental studies to assess the efficiency of resource use and to plan for sustainable consumption.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Quantity Consumed (Q) = 150 units
Duration (D) = 10 hours

Using the formula:

\[ ROC = \frac{150}{10} = 15 \text{ units per hour} \]

The Rate of Consumption is 15 units per hour.
