Answer:
The goat would cover <u>9 meters</u> in taking 24 steps.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>There is a mistake in the question so the correct question is below:</em></u>
A horse takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a goat takes 4 steps. Suppose 1 step of the horse covers 1/2 of a metre. How many metres would the goat cover in taking 24 steps?
Now, to find the meters goat cover in taking 24 steps.
As 1 step of horse covers =
So, 3 step of horse covers =
<u><em>Thus, 3 steps of horse covers = 1.5 meter</em></u><em>s.</em>
<em>As given, the horse takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a goat takes 4 steps.</em>
<u><em>So, the distance covers by goat in 4 steps = 1.5 meters.</em></u>
Now, to get the meters goat cover in taking 24 steps by using unitary method:
If, the distance cover by the goat in 4 steps = 1.5 meters
So, the distance cover by the goat in 1 step =
Thus, the distance cover by the goat in 24 steps =
=
=
Therefore, the goat would cover 9 meters in taking 24 steps.
