Where Should Turtle Be? - Math Word Problems

	1. Turtles are cold-blooded, that means that a turtle's body temperature would be below freezing (32 Degrees Fahrenheit or 0 Degrees Celcius) depend on the air or water surrounding it (ambient temperature) be 98.6 Degrees Fahrenheit, just like us

	2. If a female adult diamondback terrapin's shell is 9 inches long and an adult female loggerhead's shell is 3 Â½ feet long, which statement is true The diamondback terrapin's shell is almost three times longer than the loggerhead's. The loggerhead's shell is over four times longer than the terrapin's. Inches cannot be compared to feet.

	3. Adult diamondback terrapins mate in the early spring, and "clutches" of 5-12 eggs are laid in sand dunes in the early summer. If two terrapins each lay 8 eggs on the same night, how many total eggs are laid that night? 14 16 18

	4. If a loggerhead sea turtle lays three nests in a summer and lays 80 eggs in each nest, the total number of eggs laid during the summer would be 160 200 240

	5. If a sea turtle's shell was about an inch long when it hatched and it is now 3Â½ feet long, it has grown over 3 Â½ times its length since hatching. about 42 times its length since hatching. about 350 times its length since hatching.

	6. A loggerhead is heavier than a terrapin. Which expression best shows their weight difference? Loggerhead weight < terrapin weight Loggerhead weight = terrapin weight Loggerhead weight > terrapin weight

	7. Female loggerhead sea turtles dig their nests and lay their eggs between May and July. The eggs hatch 55 to 65 days after being laid. If eggs are laid on June 4 and they hatch after 55 days, they will hatch around the end of June July August

	8. On average, a female loggerhead lays four nests a summer, about two weeks apart. The following year, she will not lay any eggs but will "take a year off." Each time she lays eggs, she may lay between 80 and 150 eggs. Up to how many eggs could she lay in one year? 160 450 600

	9. If a female loggerhead is crawling onto a beach to lay her eggs but is scared away by loud noises or music, how many eggs will she lay that night? 0 80 150

	10. If a sea turtle has a 1 out of 1,000 chance of living to become an adult, how many sea turtles need to hatch to make 100 adult sea turtles? 100 10,000 100,000
