24 times 12,000 is 288,000
288,000 times 2 is 576,000
They will save about 576,000 trees

This is pretty simple so I will explain it to you! There are 24 hours in a day and 48 in two. If France saves 12,000 trees in an hour then all you have to do is multiply 12,000 by 48, which gives you 576,000. So, 576,000 trees will be saved in two days! Hope this helped you! :D
