10 cats For future reference, this problem is solved as follows: Let C1 be the number of cats who eat O1 rats in T1 minutes and Let C2 be the number of cats who eat O2 rats in T2 minutes C1T1/O1 = C2T2/O2 solve C2 = O2C1T1/O1T2 C2 = 100x5x5/ (5x50) = 10 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 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.

What animal should you use to kill rats?

Cats are very good at getting rid of rats. Just get a few cats and they'll take care of your rat problem.Actually, cats are not that good at catching rats: rats love water, and tend to live where there is lots of it (sewers, docksides, etc.) Cats hate water, but not only that, they are usually well fed and do not have the killer instinct of an animal looking for food. Ferrets, or better still, mink are far better rat catchers.


When you know it takes five cats five minutes to catch five mice how long will it take for 100 cats to catch 100 mice?

3 cats, 3 rats in 3 minutes means that each cat finishes one rat in 3 minutes. 100 cats would be able to eat 100 rats in 3 minutes, as long as they don't get sidetracked into fighting or mating that is.
