Answer 1

The answer to this is 14m and if it is an option 1400/100 m

Answer 2

Amount of birth mass the caterpillar eats in one day is $\frac{1400}{100}m \ grams \ \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ 14 m \ \ grams$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Percentile of birth mass eaten in one day by Caterpillar = 1400%

Caterpillar's birth mass  = 'm'

We need to find expressions which could represent the amount, in grams, the caterpillar eats in one day.

Amount the caterpillar eats in one day is equal to Percentile amount of birth mass eaten in one day multiplied by Caterpillar's birth mass  and then divided by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount of birth mass the caterpillar eats in one day = $\frac{1400}{100}\times m =14 m$

Hence Amount of birth mass the caterpillar eats in one day is $\frac{1400}{100}m \ grams \ \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ 14 m \ \ grams$
