Suppose a certain type of deciduous tree releases 8500 leaves on average each fall. If the average mass of each leaf is 1.3 g and a 148,000 acre forest has 198 of these trees per acre, how many kilograms of leaves are dropped per acre each fall?
We have
(148,000 x 198 x 8500 x 1.3g) / 1000 = 323,809,200 kg
