4:5 is correct.

The number of jumps of the dog: the heir's jump.

Answer 15

because it asked what is the ratio of the speed of dog and heir?
^ ^
first : second

Answer 16

i think it is 15:16

Answer 17

thank you MissSmartiez

Answer 18

(3/4) / (4/5)

Answer 19

as speed=distance/time

Answer 20

Hmm, it can be, but I was looking at

A dog jumps 4 times during a time when a heir jumps 5 times.

speed of dog and heir?

You may be right because you used the function of speed/time.

Answer 21

Yes, but i am not sure

Answer 22

I am not so sure about this one, so I would go with your answer.


Then he says that the dog is equal to the heir when it covers 4 distances.

Answer 23

I may be wrong, but you seem to cover it well,

Answer 24

yes, that's the correct answer
@MissSmartiez
Thanks for being with me :)

Answer 25

now tell me one thing

Answer 26

?

Answer 27

if you have to explain to a kid, how would you explain this?

Answer 28

I would probably walk them through the steps. And if I believe that I can not explain it well to their mere understandings; I would provide them with sources I believe that could help them.

Answer 29

Choices varies really, but I am not a wiz at mathematics, nor algebra. I am just enough good at it.

I am better with English and any type of science, though I felt helpful today..

Answer 31

1. Determine the speed of each animal from the given info. Note that you may have to use a letter to represent one or more unknowns. You could let d represent the distance covered by one animal or the other, and t be the elapsed time.

Speed = distance traveled / elapsed time.

2. Write the RATIO of the speed of the dog to that of the hare.

3. Note that it's hare (much like a rabbit), not heir (a person who inherits $ and belongings from the estate of someone who has died).
