Name:______________________________

PART B: For each of the following questions, convert to the smallest imperial unit before switching to metric (i.e. convert to inches before transferring to centimeters)

1. The average Leatherback Sea Turtle grows to roughly 6.5 feet in length. How many meters long is the average leatherback sea turtle? Convert to inches before transferring to metric units.

2. The egg of a Willow Ptarmigan is roughly 30 cm in width. If the ptarmigan’s egg is twice as long as it is wide, how many micrometers long is the ptarmigans egg?

3. The Porcupine Caribou herd will travel 400 miles in the span of 6 weeks between their winter grounds in the south to their calving grounds in the north. How many meters per day must the female caribou cover to make sure they make it to the calving grounds?

4. A Grizzly Bear can reach speeds up to 35 miles per hour. How many meters does a grizzly bear cover at top speed in a second?

5. Chinook and Sockeye Salmon will embark on 900 mile migrations to their breeding grounds in Idaho. This, the longest migration of salmon species in the world, takes 90 days (rough estimate) to complete. How many centimeters/second are the salmon swimming?
