If 7 spiders make 7 webs in 7 days, then 1 spider will make 1 web in how many days?17/2749

1. Break Down the Problem

We know from the problem that:

• 7 spiders make 7 webs in 7 days. This means each spider is working independently at the same rate.
• We need to find out how many days it would take for 1 spider to make 1 web.

2. Relevant Concepts

If 7 spiders make 7 webs in 7 days, we can deduce:

• The rate of web-making for the group of spiders is $\frac{7 \text{ webs}}{7 \text{ days}} = 1 \text{ web per day}$.
• Since all spiders work at the same rate, each spider must also make 1 web in the same time frame.

3. Analysis and Detail

From the above, we can determine the performance of 1 spider:

• In 7 days, each of the 7 spiders will have made 1 web. Thus, 1 spider also makes 1 web in 7 days.

4. Verify and Summarize

Since the work done by each spider does not change when scaling down to 1 spider, we confirm that 1 spider will indeed take 7 days to make 1 web.

Final Answer

1 spider will make 1 web in 7 days.
