Explain how caryophyllene fits the isoprene rule.
I don't know how to explain this. I do know the isoprene rule is (C5H8)n, where n is the number of isoprene units. Please help.

Caryophyllene has the formula C15H24.
The isoprene rule is (C5H8)<sub>n</sub>.
So (C5H8)<sub>3</sub> is C15H24; therefore, caryophyllene fits the isoprene rule.
