Assume that penguins live with a density of 1,000 penguins per square mile and can run at an average speed of 7 miles per hour on land and swim at 20 miles per hour. Also assume that a polar bear has a territory of 10 square miles, can run at 25 miles per hour and swim at 10 miles per hour, how many penguins will an average polar bear eat in any given month, remembering that a polar bear could, as a maximum, only eat one penguin per hour and 7% of the land is next to the sea.

An average polar bear will eat 0 penguins in any given month. They live in opposite sites of the world. However, taking into consideration that the polar bears and penguins might be relocated to some artificial habitat aka a zoo, and due to some gigantic oversight on the zoo's part, I would say it depends on how many days your month has.
