You are stranded on a desert island on which there are 375 native inhabitants. For every inhabitant there are two hands, for every hand there is an eye; for every eye, there is a footprint; and for every four footprints.

There is a dinosaur; for every 40 ducks there is 0.5 dinosaur, and 32 pineapples for every 20 ducks; there is one palm tree for every 12 pineapples, and for every palm tree there are 12 cacti; for every 30 pineapples there are 20 turtles; for every 30 turtles there is an anchor, there are 100 anchors for every wave, and 30 trees for each wave. How many turtles are on the island?

Answer:

(375 inhabitants) x (2 hands/inhabitant) x (1 eye/hand) x (1 footprint/eye) x (1 dinosaur/4 footprints) x (20 ducks/dinosaur) x (2 turtles/duck) = 7500 turtles
