Using the data in the table and a transient pod made up of 5 female and 1 male killer whales, calculate how many otters would need to be consumed in ONE year if this pod were to survive feeding only on sea otters? Please consider the sea otter population as 50/50 male/female, and a year as 365 days

Okay, here are the steps to calculate the number of otters needed to feed the killer whale pod for one year:

We have 5 female and 1 male killer whale, so a total of 6 whales.

From the table, we see that a female killer whale eats 154 otters per year and a male eats 290 otters per year.

So the total number of otters needed for the females is:

5 females * 154 otters/female = 770 otters

And for the male it is:

1 male * 290 otters/male = 290 otters

Adding the two gives the total for the whole pod:

770 otters + 290 otters = 1060 otters

Since the sea otter population is 50/50 male/female, we will assume half of the total otters needed (1060) are females and half are males.

There are 365 days in a year. So the number of otters needed per day for the pod to survive is:

1060 otters / 365 days = 2.9 otters per day

So in summary, for the killer whale pod to survive feeding only on sea otters for one year, they would need to consume a total of 1060 sea otters, or about 2.9 otters per day.
