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
