    Jason is incorrect, the caterpillar moved at a speed of 5 ft/minute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The caterpillar moved 10 feet over the span of 2 minutes.

    We can write this as the proportion

    10ft / 2 min

    This can be reduced to

    5ft / 1 minute

    Giving us the caterpillar's speed of 5 ft per minute.

    0.2 ft/min ≠ 5 ft/min

    Therefore, Jason is incorrect.
