Q: If 5 cats can catch 5 mice in 5 minutes, how many cats are needed to catch 100 mice in 50 minutes? (2022)
Solution:
5 cats catch 5 mice in 5 minutes, so 1 cat catches 1 mouse in 5 minutes. To catch 100 mice in 50 minutes, we need 20 cats.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that 5 cats can catch 5 mice in 5 minutes.
Step 2: This means that 1 cat can catch 1 mouse in 5 minutes.
Step 3: Now, we need to find out how many mice can 1 cat catch in 50 minutes.
Step 4: Since 50 minutes is 10 times longer than 5 minutes, 1 cat can catch 10 mice in 50 minutes.
Step 5: To catch 100 mice in 50 minutes, we need to divide the total mice (100) by the number of mice 1 cat can catch in that time (10).
Step 6: 100 mice ÷ 10 mice per cat = 10 cats needed.
