Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

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

1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons = 1.344067797*10^{10}\  gallons *\frac{9.50\ kg}{1\ gallon} =1.276864407*10^{11}\ kg\ of \ carbon\ dioxide
