Question

Froggy wants to cross a stream. The stream is two metres wide. On every jump froggy covers one third of the distance. In how many jumps will froggy reach from rock A to rock B

Answer 1

6 jumps only to reach rock A to rock B

Answer 2

Concept

Distance is the measurement of how far things or objects are located. It can be also found between two points on a surface.

Given

The stream is two metres wide and froggy can cover one third distance in one leap.

To find

How many jumps are required to cover the stream?

Explanation

We have been given that the width of stream is 2 metres and froggy can cover one third distance in one leap.

Distance covered by froggy in one leap in metres=

Total distance*proportion of distance covred in one leap

=2*1/3

=0.67 metres.

Number of leaps=Total distance/ distance covered in one leap

=2/0.67

=2.98

=3 (approx)

Hence froggy has to jump 3 times to cover to reach from rock A to rock B.
