Answer:

120 leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

If the caterpillar eats 75 leaves in 5 hours and continues to eat at the same rate, the number of leaves eaten is simple, 120 leaves.

How I found the answer:

First, I divided 75 by 5 and got 15, then I multiplied 8 to 15 and got 120.

Answer: 120 leaves

If you divide 75 and 5 you would get 15. And then you would multiply 15 to 8 to get 120.

You would divide 75 and 5 because you’ll need to find how many minutes the caterpillar ate on one leaf which would be 15 minutes. You would then multiply 15 and 8 and you’d get 120. So, 120 leaves is the answer.
