1. It is about 2555.5 miles to fly from LA (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL). According to the MoraLab calculator, this produces carbon equivalent to 1.1 tons of C02 per passenger. Between Denver (DEN) and Chicago (ORD) is a 887.1 mile flight, with 0.4 tons of C02 produced.

(a) Find the carbon emitted per mile of flight for each path. Report your answer in scientific notation, using carbon tons per mile.

(b) Find the relative difference between your answers. Report as a percent. Use LAX to HNL as the reference value. Report as a percent.

(c) Is this a small enough difference so that you could use either rate to compute the total carbon over similar types of flights?

(d) Use the tons per mile from the DEN estimate in question 1(a), to show an equation representing the total carbon emissions in tons ( using variableC) as a function of the distance traveled (using variabled).
