E  =  IVt

Where E is the energy is J
I is the current
V is the voltage
t is time in seconds.

I = 3.2A    V = 110 V,  t = 5 hours.

Since the options are in Wh we would leave the time in hours, and Current Voltage has a unit of  Watts.

E  =    (3.2 A     110 V)     5 hours

E =    352 Watts    5 hours

E =  1760  Wattshours

E = 1760 Wh
