The answer to your question is 2.8 x 10¹¹

Explanation:

Data

1 tree produces 2.6 x 10² pounds of oxygen/year

number of trees = 3.9 x 10¹¹

pounds of oxygen per day = ?

Process

1.- Divide the pounds of oxygen by 365, to get the pounds of oxygen per day.

2.6 x 10² / 365 = 0.712

2.- Multiply the number of trees by the pounds of oxygen per day

3.9 x 10¹¹ x 0.712 = 2.8 x 10¹¹ pounds of oxygen
