Of course! Let's break down the problem step by step.
1. Identify the amount of CO2eq produced per gallon of gas:
- It is given that one gallon of gas produces approximately 9.1 kilograms of CO2eq.
2. Determine the number of gallons of gas used in a year by a conventional Fusion:
- We'll assume an average yearly gas consumption. For the purpose of this calculation, let's use an estimated value of 500 gallons per year.
3. Calculate the total CO2eq produced in a year:
- To find the total kilograms of CO2eq produced in a year, multiply the number of gallons used by the amount of CO2eq produced per gallon of gas.
[tex]\[
\text{Total CO2eq produced in a year} = \text{gallons per year} \times \text{CO2eq per gallon}
\][/tex]
Plugging in the numbers:
[tex]\[
\text{Total CO2eq produced in a year} = 500 \, \text{gallons/year} \times 9.1 \, \text{kgs/gallon}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
- When you multiply these values, you get:
[tex]\[
\text{Total CO2eq produced in a year} = 4550 \, \text{kgs}
\][/tex]
Therefore, a conventional Fusion will produce approximately 4550 kilograms of CO2eq in a year based on the assumed average fuel consumption.
