it's basically impossible because you know that it takes 1 cat to catch 1 mouse, so that means it takes 100 cats to catch 100 mice. But the question you have doesn't tell me how many minutes it takes for 1 cat to catch 1 mouse. e.g say it took 5 minutes for 1 cat to catch 1 mouse you times 5 by 100 and you get 500 so it would take 500 minutes for 100 cats to catch 100 mice. but your question doesn't have the time for how long it would take for 1 cat to catch 1 mouse. so therefore your question can't be answered.

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...


If three cats eat three mice in one minute then one hundred cats eat one hundred mice in how many minutes?

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 five storks take 5 minutes to catch five fishes how long would it take for one stork to catch one fish and how long would it take for 100 storks to catch 100 fishes?

5 minutes; 5 minutes (unless the fish stock gets depleted and the storks have to find another lake!)


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.


Alice leaves her house driving east at 45 miles per hour Thirty minutes later her husband Dave notices she forgot her cell phone and sets off after her How fast must Dave travel in order to catch up?

In 30 min she would have traveled 22.5 miles so if you wanted to catch up to her in 30 min you would have to travel twice her hourly rate which would be 90 miles per hour Dave will catch Alice if he travels at any speed greater than she does, that is if he drives at any speed greater than 45mph. The factor which changes is the time it takes Dave to catch Alice (assuming they both keep driving at their relevant speeds): at 46mph, he will take 22.5/1 = 22 1/2 hours to catch her; at 55mph, he will take 22.5/10 = 2 1/4 hours to catch her; at 70mph, he will take 22.5/25 = 54 minutes to catch her.

If three cats catch three mice in three minutes how many cats would be needed to catch 100 mice 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 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.


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?

If it takes 5 cats 5 minutes to catch 5 mice, then it would also take 100 cats 5 minutes to catch 100 mice. Each cat catches one mouse in one minute, so the time it takes depends on the number of cats, not the number of mice.

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.


Why is a cat important?

The 'function' of big cats is to take out the old, weak and sick specimens in a herd of grazers, because they are the easiest to catch prey. That way they ensure that the strong and healthy survive and that only they will produce offspring.
