Challenge Question #6
"Assuming a typical earthworm measures 6 inches, and one robin chick can eat
up to 14 feet of worms a day, how many worms might an entire nest of 4 young
robins demand from their parents in a day?"
1 worm = 6"
1 chick eats 14' /day
14' x 4 chicks = 56' / day
56' x 12" = 672"
672"/6" worm = 112 worms needed to feed 4 young robins each day
