Answer:
280000lb
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we shall be calculating the amount of carbon iv oxide prevented from entering the atmosphere.
Generally we know that 1kwh produces 1.37 lbs of Carbon iv oxide in the atmosphere
Now, using a 100 watt light bulb daily for 8 hours, for a year, the amount of Carbon iv oxide produced will be;
100 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 40040 lb
Using a 30 watt CFL for 8hrs/ day for a year, we have;
30 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 120012 lb
Now calculating the amount of CO2 prevented, we have 40040 - 120012 = 280028 lb = 280000 after rounding up
Statement : Val spent $ 34 for the 2 items
contradiction : Neither of the 2 items that Val bought cost more then $ 15
think about it....if neither of them cost more then 15....lets say they cost 15 each...then there is no way he spent $ 34.....he would spend at most $ 30
32,879 rounded to the nearest thousand is 33,000. It's because 32,879 is closer to 33,000 than to 32,000.
<span>I hope it will help you with rounding in the future :)</span>
