Answer/Solution
4:5
Steps/Work
Given;
2 dog = 3 cat;
Or, dog/cat = 3/2;
Let cat's 1 leap = 2 meter and dogs 1 leap = 3 meter.
Then, ratio of speed of cat and dog = 2*6/3*5 = 4:5''Answer: 4:5;
2 dog = 3 cat;
Or, dog/cat = 3/2;
Let cat's 1 leap = 2 meter and dogs 1 leap = 3 meter.
Then, ratio of speed of cat and dog = 2*6/3*5 = 4:5''Answer: 4:5;
