>1) Observe the figures (numbers) in the text and
convert the measures to the equivalents in our metric
system (they can be approximated), in Portuguese:

> Qual o tamanho da piscina?
1 foot (pé)= 304.8mm. Como a piscina tem 40-foot by
40-foot, 40 pés x 304mm = 12.192mm ou 12,19 x 12,19metros.

> Qual o tamanho e o peso de uma baleia adulta?
1 foot(pé)= 0.3048m. Se a baleia adulta tem 55 feet (pés),
ela medirá 16m e 72cm.
1 tonelada britânica=1.016kg, então a baleia que tem 37
toneladas, pesará 37.592kg pela medida britânica.
1 tonelada norte-americana=907kg, então a baleia pesará
33.559kg pela medida norte-americana.

> E quanto mede um elefante?
Um elefante mede mais ou menos 17 metros.

> Quanto ela come por dia e quanto cabe em seu estômago?
1 pound=0.453kg, se a baleia come 2400 pounds diariamente,
ela comerá 1.0872kg por dia.
No estômago da baleia,cabem 660 pounds de alimentos, o que
equivale a 298,98kg.

> 2)Scan the text and try to find compound-complex
adjectives, like the one below:

* Program: Killer whale breeding programa
* Specialists: Veterinarians animal care specialists
* Tube: Two-inch diameter tube
* Pool: 40-foot by 40-foot holding pool
* Whale: Newborn whales
