Challenge Question #3
Congratulations to Ms. Bashinski's 6th grade Journey North Team in Orlando, FL for providing their answer to last week's Challenge Question #3!
"Observer one saw 1000 monarchs per hour. Observer two saw 60 monarchs per hour. Observer three saw 14 monarchs per hour. Observer 4 did not give a time measurement so the rate cannot be calculated. Observer five saw 74 monarchs per hour. Observer six did not give an exact number of monarchs and did not give a time measurement. Observer one saw the strongest migration on Wednesday. Observers four and six were missing information. The monarch rate is a ratio. You must have both the number of monarchs and the length of time you observed them to get the correct ratio."
