Conversion factor miles to km

#1"mile" =1.60934km#

So #15000 "miles"=15000xx1.60934km=24140.1km#

In 1 year motor cycle is driven #24140.1km#

So in 5 year motor cycle is driven #24140.1xx5km=120700.5km#

As #9.5g# CO is produced for 1km journey,

So in 5 year motor cycle will produce #120700.5xx9.5g# CO.

Conversion factor gram to pound is

#1g =0.00220462" pound"#

So the amount of CO generated in 5 years is

#120700.5xx9.5xx0.00220462" pound"~~2527.94" pound"#
