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.

What facts did Redi's, Spallanzani's, and Pasteur's experiments establish? What broader scientific understanding about life did
miss Akunina [59]
These scientists all carried out experiments in accordance with the basic biological principle that life comes from pre-existing life. They investigated the theory of spontaneous generation and proved that life comes from life.

This also demonstrates that science is a way of knowing because they used what they saw in these experiments in other situations as well. They became able to do this only because they knew about this information and they got to know this information through science.
