Bonus Monarch Math
Imagine all 337 pounds of monarchs- how would they look if you put them all on one tree? Like this?
(Attention older students.)
This year we sent 55,681 paper butterflies weighing 337 pounds to the monarch sanctuary region in Mexico.
The average weight of a live monarch butterfly is about 0.5 grams, or .0011023 pounds
And finally, how many live monarchs would it take to weigh in at 337 pounds?
907.194x 337 = 305,724
