To find the number of buckets of fish the polar bear eats daily, you need to add the amount of trout and salmon it consumes.

Given that the polar bear eats 1/2 of a bucket of trout and 2 buckets of salmon each day, you can calculate the total amount of fish it eats by adding these two amounts.

1/2 bucket of trout + 2 buckets of salmon = 1/2 + 2 = 2 1/2 buckets of fish.

Therefore, the polar bear eats 2 1/2 buckets of fish daily.
