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. the first auto gets 20 miles per gallon, and the second gets 30 miles per gallon. approximately how much less carbon (in co₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip?

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 is

c) 4

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
