For this case we have the following variable:

m: The caterpillars birth mass

We know that a caterpillar eats 1400% of its birth mass in one day.

We must then model this problem through a mathematical expression.

We have then:


(1400)/(100)m

Rewriting we have:


14m

Answer:

The following expression could represent the amount, in grams, the caterpiller eats in one day:


14m
