A dog chasing a rabbit, which has a start of 45m, jumps 3m every time the rabbit jumps 2m. In how many leaps does the dog overtake the rabbit?
45?
Answered by Rezu
x= number of jumps taken.

3x = 45 + 2x
x=45

You're right! It would take the dog 46 leaps to overtake the rabbit. Thank you for pointing that out.
