Be sure to answer all parts. One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, whic
h is a greenhouse gas; that is, it promotes the warming of Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kilograms if there are exactly 40.0 million cars in the United States and each car covers a distance of 7930 mi at a consumption rate of 23.6 miles per gallon. Enter your answer in scientific notation.
one gallon of gasoline produces 9.50 kg of carbon.
The total number of cars = 40 million
Distance covered by each car = 7930 miles
Consumption rate of the cars per miles traveled is 23.6 miles per gallon.
Hence the annual gasoline consumption by all the cars in the United States of America = (total number of cars × Distance covered by each car) ÷ Consumption rate of the cars per miles
annual gasoline consumption by all the cars = (40000000 × 7930 miles) ÷ 23.6 miles/gallon = `1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons
