Name:
3. (10 points) In 1989 the Exxon Valdez super-tanker ran aground in Alaska's
Prince William Sound, spilling the equivalent of around 260,000 barrels of oil
into the ocean. How many cars could this spilled oil have fueled over one year?
Each barrel of oil can be processed into about 19 gallons of gasoline. Assume
that an average car gets 20 miles per gallon, and drives about 12,000 miles per
year.
Round your final result to the nearest whole number.
