Answer

a) $10^{7}$ breaths/yr b) $4000m^{3}$

Work Step by Step

a) Breaths per year = $\frac{1 breath}{4s}\times\frac{3.156\times10^{7}s}{ 1 yr}\approx10^{7} breaths/yr$ b) Assume 0.5L per breath volume = $8\times10^{6}\times\frac{0.5L}{1 breath}=4\times10^{6}L \times\frac{10^{-3}m^{3}}{1 L}=4000m^{3}$
