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.
How long would it take 100 storks to catch 100 frogs when five storks need five minutes to catch five frogs?
If five storks catch five frogs in five minutes, then each stork catches one frog in that time. Therefore, 100 storks would also catch 100 frogs in the same five minutes, since they can all work simultaneously. Thus, it would take 100 storks five minutes to catch 100 frogs.
