  • Challenge Question #1

    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.
