Dear Journey North,
We are a third grade class at Kanawha Elementary School. We would
like to respond to Challenge Question #2. We multiplied 60 seconds times 60
minutes. It equalled 3600. Then we multiplied 75 wing beats per second of
the hummingbird and multiplied 3600 times 75 and got 270,000. We then
divided 270,000 into 4,000,000 and our answer was 14.81 or rounded off to 15
hours to get across the Gulf of Mexico.
Sincerely,
Brittany Bunner
