The blue whale is the largest animal living on the earth. The average blue whale measures 100 feet long (30 meters) and weighs 300,000 pounds (136,000 kilograms). A whale's head is 1⁄3 of the length of its body. A new baby whale is 1⁄4 the length of a grown whale. The average man is 1⁄17 the length of a blue whale, and 1⁄1,818 its weight. A human baby measures 1⁄4 of the length of an adult.

Calculate the following information:

How long is a whale's head?

How long is a new baby whale?

How tall is the average man?

How much does the average man weigh?

How tall is the average human baby?

Whales head : 1/3 (100) = 100/3 = 33.33 ft or 1/3 (30) = 30/3 = 10 meters

new baby whale : 1/4 (100) = 100/4 = 25 ft. or 1/4 (30) = 30/4 = 7.5 meters

average man height : 1/17 (100) = 100/17 = 5.88 ft or 1/17 (30) = 30/17 = 1.76 m

average man weight : 1/1818 (300000) = 300000/1818 = 165 lbs or 1/1818 (136000) = 136000/1818 = 74.81 kilograms

human baby height : 1/4 (5.88) = 5.88/4 = 1.47 ft or 1/4 (1.76) = 0.44 meters

13 13 of 100 feet = 13 13 * 100 = 1003 1003 = 33 13 13 feet

A whale's head is 33 13 13 feet long.

14 14 of 100 feet = 14 14 * 100 = 1004 1004 = 25 feet

A new baby whale is 25 feet long.

117 117 of 100 feet = 117 117 * 100 = 10017 10017 = 5 1517 1517 feet

The average man is 5 1517 1517 feet (very close to 6 feet) tall.

1 1,818 1 1,818 of 300,000 pounds = 1 1,818 1 1,818 * 300,000 = 300,000 1,818 300,000 1,818 = 165 5303 5303 pounds

The average man weighs 165 5303 5303 pounds (very close to 165 pounds).

14 14 of 5 1517 1517 feet = 14 14 * 5 1517 1517 = 14 14 * 10017 10017 = 2517 2517 = 1 817 817 feet.

The average human baby is 1 817 1 817 feet tall (very close to 1 12 1 12 feet, or 18 inches, tall).
