Wesley is raising monarch caterpillars for a school science project. Every day, he feeds 7 fresh milkweed leaves to each caterpillar. Wesley wants to find out how many caterpillars he can feed in a day with a total of 42 leaves.
Which equation can be solved for n to find the number of caterpillars he can feed in a day?

a. n/7=42
b. n-7=42
c. n+7=42
d. 7n=42
a. n/7=42
is that correct
No, the correct equation would be:
d. 7n = 42
This equation can be solved for n to find the number of caterpillars Wesley can feed in a day.
what's the correct in right answer ?
The correct equation to find the number of caterpillars Wesley can feed in a day with a total of 42 leaves is:
d. 7n = 42
This equation can be solved by dividing both sides by 7 to find the value of n. In this case, n would be equal to 6, meaning Wesley can feed 6 caterpillars in a day.
