How much carbon dioxide is emitted each year by the burning of transportation fuels in the UN?
\n" ); document.write( "We are told the total amount of carbon dioxide is 540 million metric tons.
\n" ); document.write( "The question asked wants to know what part of this is due to burning of transportation fuels. We are told that 35% of the total amount is due to transportation fuels. So the questions is asking how much is 35% of 540 million metric tons.
\n" ); document.write( "To do this convert 35% to a decimal number by dividing by 100
\n" ); document.write( "35/100 = 0.35
\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply .35 by 540
\n" ); document.write( ".35 * 540 = 189
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 189 million metric tons\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
