It takes 36 caterpillars 15 hours to eat all the leaves on the bush in Violetta’s front yard. How many hours would it take 18 caterpillars to eat the same bush, assuming all the caterpillars eat at the same pace?
HELP PLEASE

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf 7.5 \ hours}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

36 caterpillars = 15 hours

Using unitary method.

  • Divide both sides by 36

1 caterpillar = 15/36 hours

1 caterpillar = 0.416 hours

  • Multiply both sides by 18

1 × 18 caterpillars = 0.416 × 18 hours

18 caterpillars = 7.5 hours
