Question

A rabbit has to cover `26 1/4` m to fetch its food. If it covers `1 3/4` m in one jump, then how many jumps will it take to fetch its food?

Answer 1

Total distance to be covered by the rabbit = `26 1/4` m

Distance covered in one jump = `1 3/4` m

∴ Number of jumps = `26 1/4 ÷ 1 3/4`

= `105/4 ÷ 7/4`

= `105/4 xx 4/7`

= 15

∴ The rabbit jumps 15 times to fetch its food.
