A male bald eagle weighs about 8.5lbs.
Male bald eagle: weighs 8.5lbs. = 0.425lbs. at 5%
0.85 lbs. at 10%
Female bald eagle: weighs 12lbs. = 0.6lbs. at 5%
1.2lbs. at 10%
A male member of our group weighs 135lbs. To find the equivalent amount of food he eats to that of an eagle we set up a proportion:
5% = 0.425/8.5 X x/135 = 6.75lbs of food
10% = 0.85/8.5 X x/135 = 13.5lbs of food
A female member of our group weighs 105lbs. She would eat:
5% = 0.6/12 X x/105 = 5.25lbs. of food
10% = 1.2/12 X x/105 = 10.5lbs. of food
