The united states emitted 19.5 million of nitrogen oxides (NO) into the atmosphere in 1987. ONe metric ton (1) equals 1,000 kg.
How many kilograms of no were emitted to the atmosphere in the united states during 1987?
wouldn't it be 19.5 million x 1000? or 19.5 billion kilograms/
To find the number of kilograms of nitrogen oxides (NO) emitted into the atmosphere in the United States during 1987, we need to convert the given measurement from metric tons to kilograms.
Given that 1 metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms, we can convert by multiplying the number of metric tons by 1,000.
So, to find the number of kilograms of NO emitted in 1987, we can perform the following calculation:
19.5 million metric tons * 1,000 kilograms/metric ton = 19.5 billion kilograms
Therefore, approximately 19.5 billion kilograms of nitrogen oxides were emitted into the atmosphere in the United States during 1987.
