Question

A rabbit jumps 3 m at a time. If it covers a distance of 21 m, then how many times does it jump?

• A. 7

Answer 1

The correct option is A 7
The rabbit covers 21 m in total.

It jumps a distance of 3 m at a time.

So, in 1 jump, the rabbit covers = 3m

In 2 jumps, the rabbit covers
$=3\times 2=6m$

Similarly, in 3 jumps, the rabbit covers
$=3\times 3=9m$

If we continue the process as above, the rabbit jumps for
$3\times 7=21m$

Or we can write that as,
$21÷3=7$

∴ The rabbit jumps 7 times.
