A caterpillar can crawl 1/2 of an inch in 1/4 of a minute. How far can he crawl in 1 minute?(1 point)

To find out how far the caterpillar can crawl in 1 minute, we need to find how many intervals of 1/4 minutes are in 1 minute.

1 minute is equal to 4 intervals of 1/4 minutes.

Since the caterpillar can crawl 1/2 of an inch in 1/4 of a minute, it can crawl 1/2 * 4 intervals = <<1/2*4=2>>2 inches in 1 minute. Answer: \boxed{2}.
