Kari and Jessie from South O'Brien Middle School have revised their answer
and asked that I re-submit their answer to Hummingbird Challenge Question
#3.
"If we burned energy at the same rate as hummingbirds, we would need 18,720
ounces of our favorite food (Bugles) per day, and we would need 1,170 ounces
per hour of our favorite food. In pounds per hour we would need 18,720
pounds of Bugles, and we'd need 299,520 pounds of Bugles per day.
We figured the average 11 year old is 90 pounds, which is 1,440 ounces.
Then, since a hummingbird needs 10 calories per day, we would need 14,400
calories per day. In Bugles there are 160 calories in 1 1/3 cup, so we
would need 117 servings of Bugles. That's 18,720 calories!"
Thanks!
