You want to find pounds of CO2 / week = lb CO2 / week



1 lb CO2        2 gal gas        144 * 10^6 car          7day
------------- x  --------------- x    ------------------    x    ---------
1 gal gas              car                   day                    week



Check what happen with units

 lbCO2      gal      car      day
----------- x ------ x ------ x ------- = lb CO2 / week
   gal         car      day    week


So the result is 2 * 144 * 10^6 * 7 lb CO2  / week = 2,016 - 10^6 lb CO2 / week


Answer: 2,016 millions of pounds of CO2 per week.

alukav5142 [94]
This phenomenon can be explained by Allen's rule. It says that the body proportions and shape may vary in different climates. The temperature decreases as the latitude increases, so in the northern region is much colder. Animals must preserve heat in such conditions. So, exposed surface areas of the body, such as the ears, feet, and tail, are usually minimized to minimize heat loss in the cold climate. <span>Therefore, northern species often have smaller ears, feet, and tail than the southern species. </span>
