A single tree produces about [tex]2.6 \times 10^2[/tex] lb of oxygen each year. The Amazon rainforest has about [tex]3.9 \times 10^{11}[/tex] trees.

About how many pounds of oxygen are produced in the rainforest each day?

[tex]2.8 \times 10^?[/tex] lb

(2.6 * 10^2)/365 = 260/365 (260/365) * (3.9 * 10^11) = 2.778 * 10^12 (3.d.p.) or 2.8 * 10^12 (1.d.p.)

The Amazon rainforest produces approximately 2.8 × 1 0 11 lb of oxygen each day. This is calculated by multiplying the oxygen produced by a single tree by the total number of trees in the rainforest, then dividing by the number of days in a year. Therefore, the total daily oxygen production is significant due to the vast number of trees in this ecosystem.
