One cat can eat one mouse in one minute. There is one mouse for every cat, so it would take only one minute for all mice to be eaten.

If three cats can kill three rats in three minutes how long will it take 33 cats to kill 33 rats?

It will take 3 minutes if you look at this problem mathematically. Both scenarios have a ratio of 1 rat to 1 cat. 3 minutes multiplied by 1/1 equals 3 minutes.

Four cats catch 4 mice 4 minutes. How many cats will it take to catch 10 mice in 10 minutes?

It'll take 4 because if 4 cats catch 4 mice in 4 minutes, it means it takes 1 minute for one cat to catch 1 mouse. So if 10 cats were the answer, the question would be, how many cats will it take to catch 10 mice in four minutes. This question is obvious...


Five cats kill five rats in five minutes then how many cats needed to kill 100 rats in 50 minutes?

If 5 Cats kill 5 Rats in 5 minutes that equals 1 rat killed each minute by each cat. So, in twice as many minutes the same ammount of cats will kill twice as many rats... 5 cats will kill 10 rats in 10 minutes. And if left for five times as long, which is 50 minutes, those same 5 cats will kill 50 rats. So obviously you will need twice as many cats to kill twice as many rats in the same time. So the answer is... You will need 10 cats to kill 100 rats in 50 minutes.


If 3 cats catch 3 rats in 3 minutes how many cats will catch 100 rats in 100 minutes?

1, 1 cat catches 1 rat in 1 minute...... SO, one cat will catch 100 rats in 100 minutes, assuming no feline fatigue element, and assuming the rats do not become more experienced in evasion, at the given rate of one rat per minute per cat.

How many cats can catch 100 rats in 100 minutes if 5 cats can catch 5 rats in 5 minutes?

I assume those 5 cats are working simultaneously. If you give those 5 cats 20 times the minutes (5min x 20 = 100min), they are gonna catch 20 times the rats (5 rats x 20 = 100 rats). So 5 cats can catch 100 rats in 100 minutes.

it takes 3 cats to eat 3 mice in 3 minutes. Meaning 3 cats can eat 99 mice in 99 mins. Those 3 cats will take 102 mins to eat one cat. YOu need one extra cat to eat the last mice. So the answer is 4 cats.

If three cats kill three rats in three minutes then how many minutes will 100 cats take to kill 100 rats?

It would still take 3 minutes according to the setup of the question, assuming there are enough rats to make this work. It takes 1 cat 3 minutes to find a rat, and 3 minutes for 3 cats to each find a rat. So 100 cats would only take 3 minutes to find 100 rats. Time is irrelevant since the only factors changing are the cats and the rats. However, this question assumes too many things that would likely not happen. The question assumes an even density of rats, that the cat's are equally able to catch rats, and that there are enough rats.

If sevan cats catch sevan mice in sevan how many cats would it take to catch one hundred mice in fiftey minutes?

first of all, it depends on wthe mice where the mice are. if they are in a small space, it would only take a few cats, whereas, if were scattered all over a three story house, it might take a while. anyway, generally, it would take about 45-50 cats.
