Answer:
Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.
Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.






Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.


Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces
pounds of carbon.
Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Raise 3 to the power of 2.
The answer here is C. The sign of the factors are both positive. We can use the FOIL method as reference in determining the sign of the factors. The 3rd term C is positive; therefore our only option is either both negative or both positive. Looking the middle term, which is positive, we know that the middle term is the sum of the outer and inner in FOIL method, which means, signs of the factors must be both positive
