Question

Oscar is raising monarch caterpillars for a summer science project. Every day, he feeds 4 fresh milkweed leaves to each caterpillar. Oscar wants to know how many caterpillars he can feed in a day with a total of 28 leaves. Which equation can Oscar use to find n, the number of caterpillars he can feed in a day?

Answer 1

Answer: n = 28/4

Explanation:

Number of leaves uses to feed each caterpillar = 4.

If Oscar has 28 leaves, the number of caterpillars n he'll be able to feed in a day will be represented by the equation below:

n = 28/4

This implies that 7 caterpillars can be fed in a day.
