Math At Sea

Math at Sea. Is there any math at sea? I think so. Fish have hundreds of thousands of eggs. Only a few hatch.

A fish lays 200,000 eggs. Only 5% are actually able to make it to adulthood. How many eggs make it to adulthood?

Solution:

200,000 x .05 = 10,000.

The fish had 10,000 become adults.
