Question

At the Natural History museum Paula saw 5 times as many beetles as spiders. She saw 6 more spiders than caterpillars. If Paula saw 50 insects and spiders, how many of each kind did she see?

Aunt is stumped!

Answer 1

The School Subject should be something like MATH for the correct volunteer teacher to read it. 3rd grade really tells us nothing. . .English, Music, Science, Math, Philosophy, etc.

40 beetles / 8 spiders / 2 caterpillars = total of 50
