If a hummingbird consumes 10 calories for its 1/10 of an ounce, then 1 calorie is 0.01 of an ounce.
One group member weighs 98 pounds or 1568 ounces (98 X 16 ounces in a pound).
If 1 calorie is .01 ounces, then 1568 ounces = 156800 calories/day for this student.
His favorite food is chips. They have 160 calories per serving. 156800 divided by 160 = 980 servings of his chips per day.
Divide 980 servings by 16 hours and he neeeds to eat 61.25 servings of chip per hour.
