Sea Otter Math
Sea otters eat 25-30% of their body weight in seafood each day. Use math skills
to find out how many sea stars an average sized sea otter would eat in one day.
A sea otter weighing 80 pounds would need to eat 24
pounds of sea stars each day.
If each sea star weighs 2 pounds, how many sea stars
would the sea otter eat? Circle them below.
Now calculate how many bananas you would have to eat each day
if you ate as much as a sea otter.
If you weighed 80 pounds, you would need to eat 24 pounds of bananas each day. If each
banana weighs 1/2 pound, how many bananas would you eat if you ate like a sea otter?
Circle them below.
Answers: 12 sea stars; 48 bananas
