Question

An adult killer whale can eat LaTeX: 4.0\times10^84.0 × 10 8 krill in a day. At that rate, how many krill can an adult killer whale eat in LaTeX: 3.65\times10^23.65 × 10 2 days?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.46 x $10^{11}$ krill in 365 days.

Explanation:

The adult killer whale eats 4.0 x $10^{8}$ (400 000 000) krill in a day.

Number of krill that the adult whale would eat in 3.65 x $10^{2}$ (365) days can be determined as;

     = Number of krill eaten per day x number of days

      = 4.0 x $10^{8}$ x 3.65 x $10^{2}$

      = 1.46 x $10^{11}$

Therefore, an adult killer whale would eat 1.46 x $10^{11}$ krill in a year (365 days).
