Here is the problem which I am struggling on, please help me!

Problem: Suppose that the average power consumption per year in a typical house is 310 W. What initial mass of would have to undergo fission to supply the electrical needs of such a house for a year? (Assume 200 MeV is released per fission. The Avogadro number is 6.02 x 1023).

Answer in g please!

Please show how you came to your conclusion. Thanks.
