Question 261221: A dog takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a cat takes 4 steps. Suppose 1 step of the dog covers 1 foot. How many feet would the cat cover in taking 12 steps? Answer by palanisamy(496) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given, a dog takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a cat takes 4 steps.
4 steps of a cat = 3 steps of a dog
12 steps of a cat = (3/4)*12 = 9 steps of a dog
Also, 1 step of the dog covers 1 foot.
Therefore, 9 steps of the dog covers 9 feet.
So 12 steps of a cat covers 9 feet
