3. Rabbit and kangaroo start jumping together. If rabbit jumps 3 steps at one time and kangaroo jumps 5 steps at one time then when will they meet for the first time.
Answers
Answer:
The Rabbit and the Kangaroo will meet at 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Steps jumped by Rabbit= 3
Steps jumped by Kangaroo= 5
When they meet for first time= L.C.M. of 3 and 5
As 3 and 5 are prime numbers, their L.C.M. will be their product
⇒L.C.M. of 3 and 5 = 3*5 = 15
∴The Rabbit and the Kangaroo will meet at 15
Given:
Steps jumped by Rabbit = 3
Steps jumped by Kangaroo = 5
To Find:
If both of them jump at one time when will they meet for first time
Solution:
A Rabbit jumps 3 steps and a Kangaroo jumps 5 steps
To calculate when they meet for first time, we will take L.C.M. of both the numbers 3 and 5
Since both the numbers 3 and 5 are prime numbers thus, we will take their product
= 3 x 5
= 15
Answer: The Rabbit and the Kangaroo will meet at 15 steps
