The equation for converting the miles per gallon figures of Toyota Prius Hybrid into kilometers per liter is as follows:
Substitute the given values in the following equation, then the following is obtained:
Therefore, the amount of gasoline used by each car annually if it was driven 19,300 kilometers (12,000 miles) per year can be calculated as follows:
To calculate the amount of gasoline used by Toyota Prius Hybrid annually if it was driven 19,300 kilometers (12,000 miles) per year, substitute the given values in the equation. Then, the following value is obtained.
The equation for calculating the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere each year is as follows:
Substitute the given values in the equation to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere each year. Then, the following is obtained:

- 1. Calculate the elevation of the water table at each well location and write the approximate elevation on the line next to each well. Next, use a colored pencil to draw smooth 10-foot contours that show the shape of the water table. (Start with the 1160-foot contour.) Use a pencil of a different color to draw arrows on the map to indicate the direction of the slope of the water table. a. Toward which direction (downward) does the water table slope? b. Referring to the site of the proposed water well, at approximately what depth below the surface should the proposed well intersect the water table? 2. Assume that a dye was put into well A on May 10, 2017, and detected in well B on May 25, 2018. What was the rate of groundwater movement between the two wells, in centimeters per day?
