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

Answer:I think the answer is D ( if D is 7 x n )

Explanation:

I know that the missing number ( n ) is 6 and if D is necessarily 6 x 7, then 6 x 7 is the one equation that equals 42.

Anyways, hope this helps!

Answer: D)7n=42

Step-by-step explanation: Because when you divide 7 on both side you are left with n=6 and that is the number of caterpillars he can feed in 1 day with 42 leaves
