Question
Due at midnight, for algebra two could really use the help please.
Ty is studying to be a marine biologist at the College of Charleston. His class is
studying the endangered species of loggerhead turtles that live along the beach.
There is a formula that he uses to show the relationship between the length and
weight of the turtles.
L = 0.55VW
L= the length of the turtle in feet
W the weight of the turtle in pounds
Part 1: If the average loggerhead turtle is 250lbs, about how long should they be?
Show your work to support your answer. (Round to 1 decimal place.)
Part 2: Loggerhead turtles can suffer from malnutrition due to increased amounts
of pollution in the ocean. You are treating 2 turtles for malnutrition. Turtle A is 3.2 ft
long and Turtle B is 2.3 ft long. How much should each turtle weigh to be
considered healthy enough to be released?
Part 3: A male loggerhead turtle comes in measuring 2.5 ft long, how much should
he weigh? Show your work to support your answer. (Round to the nearest whole
number.) When you put him on the scale he weighs 80lb. Is our turtle overweight
or underweight?
Optional - Part 4: To save time, Ty wants to solve the equation for W so he won't
have to solve it every time he needs to know the weight. Solve the equation for W,
show your work to support your answer.
