Answer:2/3

Explanation:

Let’s assume that the first larva can eat a leaf in one day and the second larva can eat the same leaf in two days.

The first larva can eat one leaf in one day, so it can eat 1/1 = 1 leaf per day.

The second larva can eat one leaf in two days, so it can eat 1/2 = 0.5 leaf per day.

Together, they can eat 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 leaves per day.

Therefore, it would take them 2/3 of a day to eat one leaf together.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
