Students have asked these similar questions
If a car is traveling at 43.0 miles per hour, contains 3 gallons of gas, and gets 22.5 miles per gallon, can it travel to a station 114.9 km away?
If so how many hours will it take? How much gas (if any) is left upon arrival?
If not, how far will it go before it runs out of gas? How much more gas would it need to reach the destination?
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been
increasing over the past century as a result of the combustion of
fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). Carbon dioxide is a green-
house gas that plays a significant role in climate. The increase in
carbon dioxide is correlated with changes in climate that have
climate scientists concerned. The graph shown here illustrates
the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from 1860 to the
present. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.
