A rabbit and a frog jump toward each other.
The rabbit takes two jumps for every three jumps of the frog.
The two jumping animals are 27m away, and it takes the rabbit 4 jumps to cover 1m
How many jumps will the frog take before they are both in same place?

What is your attempt at the question?

[monicaninianemo]

I have a math problem and I need help

[monicaninianemo]

I need help to answer that

[Unknown008]

But what have you tried to solve the problem?

The problem has been given to you because you are supposed to find the solution to it and you should be able to do it by yourself.

So, you are expected to show your attempt at least.

I tried to solve that problem but I weak in math problems

Post what you tried then. It's better than nothing.

How old are you?
Draw a line for the 27m.
Put the rabbit at one end and the frog at the other.
The rabbit covers 1m in 4 jumps.
The rabbit jumps 2 jumps for every 3 of the frog.
SO the frog 6 jumps in 1m ---- right? (or 3 jumps in 1/2m)
How did I know that? What do you do next?

How I begin to solve that question?

So that your saying that the answer is 6

I just want to know the answer

[joypulv]

Someone might come along who is willing to just hand you the answer, but I doubt it.
What good would that do? You'll just flunk at exam time.
And how old are you?

OK I am sorry
You know I get hurt
I am so so so sorry what I did
Next time I will not ask a question anymore OK

[joypulv]

You are hurt, why?
And why be sorry? There's no need to be sorry.
I asked your age because it matters in how we describe how to do the problem.
But I still won't give you the answer.
Did you draw the picture on paper?

Did you draw the picture on paper? Yes
What is my age -: 11

You could make a drawing, and put the animals at the ends of their path.

Then, you draw 4 hops from the rabbit and 6 from the frog.

Try to make it as close to scale as possible.

Here's a quick sketch I did. (Don't laugh at my frog and rabbit :o)



The rabbit did 4 hops and did 1 m.

If the rabbit does 2 hops, the frog does 3 hops.
If the rabbit does 4 hops, the frog will do 6 hops.

[joypulv]

ELEVEN? OK then... I think we should all help a little more here.
I don't know if you are learning how to write equations based on this sort of problem yet or not. I can't remember math classes that far back, and times have changed.
You know the rabbit goes 1m in 4 jumps.
You know the frog jumps 3 for every 2 of the rabbit, (so 3 jumps = 1/2m, 6 = 1m).
Are you supposed to write an equation?
