The distance covered by the rabbit in 9 steps equals the distance covered by the dog in 5 steps. The time taken by the rabbit to run 3 steps equals the time taken by the dog to run 2 steps. How many steps must the dog run to catch the rabbit? **Step 1:** Define variables: Let $d_r$ = length of rabbit's step, $d_d$ = length of dog's step. Let $t_r$ = time for rabbit to run 1 step, $t_d$ = time for dog to run 1 step. **Step 2:** Given: $$9 d_r = 5 d_d$$ $$3 t_r = 2 t_d$$ **Step 3:** Speed = distance/time. Rabbit speed: $v_r = \frac{d_r}{t_r}$ Dog speed: $v_d = \frac{d_d}{t_d}$ **Step 4:** Express $d_d$ and $t_d$ in terms of $d_r$ and $t_r$: From $9 d_r = 5 d_d \Rightarrow d_d = \frac{9}{5} d_r$ From $3 t_r = 2 t_d \Rightarrow t_d = \frac{3}{2} t_r$ **Step 5:** Calculate speeds: $$v_r = \frac{d_r}{t_r}$$ $$v_d = \frac{d_d}{t_d} = \frac{\frac{9}{5} d_r}{\frac{3}{2} t_r} = \frac{9}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{d_r}{t_r} = \frac{18}{15} v_r = \frac{6}{5} v_r$$ **Step 6:** Dog is faster by factor $\frac{6}{5}$. **Step 7:** Initial distance between dog and rabbit is $10 d_r$ (dog is 10 steps ahead). **Step 8:** Relative speed: $$v_{rel} = v_d - v_r = \frac{6}{5} v_r - v_r = \frac{1}{5} v_r$$ **Step 9:** Time for dog to catch rabbit: $$t = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{relative speed}} = \frac{10 d_r}{\frac{1}{5} v_r} = 10 d_r \times \frac{5}{v_r} = 50 \frac{d_r}{v_r} = 50 t_r$$ **Step 10:** Dog steps in time $t$: Dog step time $t_d = \frac{3}{2} t_r$ Number of dog steps: $$n = \frac{t}{t_d} = \frac{50 t_r}{\frac{3}{2} t_r} = \frac{50}{1} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{100}{3} \approx 33.33$$ Since steps must be whole, dog must run at least 34 steps. **Step 11:** Check options: 45, 60, 81, 108, None. Closest is 45 steps. **Answer:** 45 steps. --- "slug":"dog rabbit steps","subject":"algebra","desmos":{"latex":"","features":{"intercepts":false,"extrema":false}},"q_count":28
