Problema Solution
Roo and Tigger decided to have a jumping race. Their racecourse was 100 feet up and back. (200 feet total.) Roo could make three jumps of 2 feet each in the same time that Tigger could make two jumps of 1 yard each. Who won the race and by how much?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
d = 200 ft the distance they pass jumping
Roo's rate is 3 jumps of 2 ft in t time that is 2*3/t = 6/t
1 yard = 3 ft
Tiggers rate is 2 jumps of 1 yard each in t time that is 2*1*3 ft in t time = 6/t
since they have the same rate no one won the race, it was a tie.
