Question 12 Grey-headed albatrosses have a roughly 7-feet wide wingspan. They are known to migrate across several oceans. Albatrosses can cover about 900 – 1000 km in a day. One of the longest single trips recorded is about 12,000 km. How many days would such a trip take to cross the Pacific Ocean approximately?Distance for the trip: 12,000 km Albatross daily travel (range): 900 km/day to 1000 km/day Let's calculate the approximate time: Using their faster speed (1000 km/day): Days = 12,000 km / 1000 km/day = 12 days Using their slower speed (900 km/day): Days = 12,000 km / 900 km/day ≈ 13.3 days So, such a trip would take approximately between 12 and 13.3 days to cross the Pacific Ocean.
