Amount of CO₂ emission per day is 11,356.23 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Joe travelling distance per day = 60 miles

Carbon dioxide emission per day = 20 mpg

Now we have to find the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per day by dividing the distance by the emission per day given in gallons.

Amount of Carbon dioxide emission = $\frac{distance}{emission amount}

Amount of CO₂ emission in gallons  = $\frac{ 60 miles}{20 mpg}  

                                                            = 3 gallons

Now we have to convert the gallons to grams as,

1 gallon = 3,785.41 g

3 gallons = 3 × 3785.41 g = 11,356.23 g

So the emission of CO₂ per day is 11,356.23 g.

A fossilized leaf contains 24% of its normal amount of carbon 14. how old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? use 5600 years as
sergij07 [2.7K]
The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years. 
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24% 
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
                     n = log 0.24/log 0.5
                        = 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
 = 11529.8 
 ≈ 11529 years
