Storyline
When a toxic red substance appears in the current under Taipan, the crew must use their unit conversion and word problem skills to figure out what's going on and how to fix it.
First, using their knowledge of word problems, the crew will investigate debris pieces to determine how much of this toxic liquid was released into the ocean. Then, the crew will figure out how much of a neutralizing chemical is needed to counteract the toxin using unit conversions.
