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 = $\frac{1}{2} \ meter.$

So, 3 step of horse covers = $\frac{1}{2} \times 3$ $=\frac{3}{2} =1.5\ meters.$

Thus, 3 steps of horse covers = 1.5 meters.

As given, the horse takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a goat takes 4 steps.

So, the distance covers by goat in 4 steps = 1.5 meters.

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 = $\frac{1.5}{4}$

Thus, the distance cover by the goat in 24 steps = $\frac{1.5}{4}\times 24$

= $\frac{36}{3}$

= $9\ meters.$

Therefore, the goat would cover 9 meters in taking 24 steps.
