Question

A car emits 8.6 kg of CO2 per gallon of unleaded gas. How much CO2 is produced if the car 2.5 burns gal of fuel?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5 gallon fuel produced 21.5 kg  CO₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

CO₂ produced during burning of one gallon fuel = 8.6 kg

CO₂ produced during burning of 2.5 gallon fuel = ?

Solution:

This problem is solved through simple multiplication.

If one gallon fuel produced 8.6 kg CO₂ then 2.5 gallon produced is determined by multiplying the 2.5 with 8.6 kg.

1 gallon = 8.6 kg CO₂

2.5 ×  8.6 kg CO₂  = 21.5 kg

Thus 2.5 gallon fuel produced 21.5 kg  CO₂ .
