Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: 2000
From the given: five spiders catch five flies in five minutes. This implies one spider catches one fly in five minutes.
Find how many flies one spider catches in 100 minutes: 100 ÷ 5 = 20, so one spider catches 20 flies in 100 minutes.
For 100 spiders, multiply: 100 × 20 = 2000 flies in 100 minutes.
Therefore, 100 spiders can catch 2000 flies in 100 minutes.
