A frog jumps 2 steps at a time.
A squirrel jumps 3 steps.
A rabbit jumps 5 steps.
A horse jumps 15 steps.
A kangaroo jumps 30 steps.
In how many jumps will the frog reach 30?
The frog jumps 2 steps at a time.
To reach 30, the number of jumps required = 30 ÷ 2 = 15 jumps.
In how many jumps will the squirrel reach 27?
The squirrel jumps 3 steps at a time.
To reach 27, the number of jumps required = 27 ÷ 3 = 9 jumps.
Which number will the kangaroo reach in two jumps?
Kangaroo jumps 30 steps.
In two jumps, the kangaroo will reach 30 x 2 = 60.
Who will all meet at number 15?
Squirrel: 0, 3, 6, 9, 15…
Rabbit: 0, 5, 10, 15…
Horse: 0, 15, 30…
So, the squirrel, rabbit and horse will meet at the number 15.
Will the rabbit ever be at the number 18?
No, the rabbit will never be at the number 18.
The rabbit jumps 5 steps. 18 is not divisible by 5. So, the rabbit will never arrive at the number 18.
How many jumps of the rabbit equal one jump of the horse?
The rabbit jumps 5 steps.
The horse jumps 15 steps.
15 ÷ 5 = 3
So, 3 jumps of the rabbit are equal to one jump of the horse.
How many jumps of the horse equals two jumps of the kangaroo?
One jump of kangaroo = 30 steps
Two jumps of kangaroo = 60 steps
One jump of the horse = 15 steps
To reach 60 steps, the number of jumps the horse must take = 60 ÷ 15 = 4
Thus, 4 jumps of the horse equal two jumps of the kangaroo.
1 jump of kangaroo (30 steps) = 2 jumps of horse (2 x 15 steps)
So, 2 jumps of kangaroo (2 x 30 steps) = 4 jumps of horse (2 x 2 x 15 steps = 4 x 15 steps)]
Which is the smallest number where the frog and the squirrel will meet?
The frog jumps 2 steps.
The squirrel jumps 3 steps.
Frog: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10…
Squirrel: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15…
So, 6 is the smallest number where the frog and the squirrel will meet.
