Well, if 3 cats can kill 3 rats in 3 minutes, that means each cat takes 3 minutes to kill a rat. So, if you have 100 cats and 100 rats, it will still take 3 minutes for all the rats to meet their unfortunate fate. Math doesn't care if you have a cat army or just a trio, it's all about efficiency.

If 5 cats catch 5 rats in 5 minutes, that means each cat catches one rat in 5 minutes. So, to catch 100 rats in 100 minutes, you'd need 100 cats. But let's be real, if you have 100 cats running around trying to catch rats, you probably have bigger problems to deal with.
A biological vector is an organism that carries disease from one host into another. Some examples include rats, mice, houseflies and mosquitoes.
During the garbage strike, some neighborhoods were overrun by rats. Planes can be damaged if they overrun the paved part of the runway.

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.
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
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.
Yes, cats can kill rats. Cats don't just kill only rats but they can also kill Mice.
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.

none they are vegitarian :)
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.
kill the rats not the dogs and cats
