suppose a penguin eats about 5 pounds

of krill a day. about what number of
krill does the penguin eat in 100 days?
(hint: 1 pound =16 ounces.)

What is the weight of a krill?

30 antartic krill weigh about 1 ounce

altogether.

To find out the number of krill that a penguin eats in 100 days, we first need to convert pounds to ounces, as given in the hint that 1 pound equals 16 ounces.

Since the penguin eats 5 pounds of krill per day, we need to multiply this by 16 to get the number of ounces consumed in a day.

5 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 80 ounces/day

Now, to find the total number of krill eaten in 100 days, we multiply the number of ounces eaten per day by the number of days.

80 ounces/day * 100 days = 8000 ounces

Therefore, the penguin eats about 8000 krill in 100 days.
