Variations and Exponents Practice Worksheet

Here are the steps to solve the problem: 1) The caterpillar's original weight is 12-2 = 10 grams 2) It can grow 124 times its original body weight 3) To find its maximum weight, multiply its original weight by the growth factor: 10 grams x 124 = 1,240 grams The concepts or skills needed are: - Understanding exponential growth/variation - Setting up and solving a one-step multiplication problem - Interpreting the information given in the word problem Therefore, the maximum weight the caterpillar can reach during its life cycle is 1,240 grams. The key skills are understanding exponential growth/variation and setting up a simple multiplication problem from the information given.
