Challenge Question #1
Joan Berger, East Hills School, Roslyn, NY (K12ROBZJ@vaxc.hofstra.edu)

This is Claire Modica of the whale team from Mrs. Berger's 5th grade
class at the East Hills School in Roslyn, LI. I think that the total weight
that the Gray whale calf has gained since her arrival at Sea World on Jan 11th,
gaining at a rate of about 1.2 lbs/hr is 1,123.2 lbs.
There were 39 days since Jan.11 and since I wrote this, Feb.19th. At
24 hrs. per day, I multiplied 24 x 1.2 and got 28.8. I then multiplied 28.8 x
39 and got 1,123.2.
