Answer:

Carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere is 129.6 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know when we burn 1 gallon of gasoline produces 20 pounds of carbon dioxide.

Since in i gallon a truck covers 14 miles which means in 14 miles a truck produces 20 pounds of carbon dioxide gas.

Now we can calculate the amount of CO2 emitted by a truck in 200 miles.

∵ During 14 miles CO2 emitted = 20 pounds

∴ during 1 mile CO2 emitted will be = 20/14 pounds

∴ While covering 200 miles CO2 emitted = (200×20)/14 = 285.71 pounds of CO2.

Or by converting 281.71 pounds to kg amount of CO2 will be = 129.6 kg
