Answer 1

Answer:

9:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one leap of a hare be x metres.

Then, one leap of the dog equals 3x metres.

In the time taken(t seconds) for the dog to take 3 leaps, the hare takes 5 leaps.

Therefore, the dog travels 3(3x) metres and the hare travels 5x metres in t seconds.

Speed of dog = 9x/t

Speed of hare = 5x/t

Speed of dog /Speed of hare = (9x/t)/(5x/t) = 9/5

Ratio = 9:5
