Question 2.
Food is available at the end of a cobbled road. Robby, the rabbit, takes a jump of 4 each time. Deeku, the deer, takes a jump of 6 each time. They both start at 0. Will both Robby and Deeku reach the food? Who will reach first? How do you know? Explain your answer.
Solution:
Robby (Rabbit): Jumps 4 steps at a time. This means Robby will land on multiples of 4 (0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64).
Deeku (Deer): Jumps 6 steps at a time. This means Deeku will land on multiples of 6 (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60).
Robby: Yes, 64 is a multiple of 4 (4 x 16 = 64). Therefore, Robby will land exactly on 64.
Deeku: No, 64 is not a multiple of 6. (60 is 6×10, and 66 is 6×11. 64 falls in between). So, Deeku will not land exactly on 64.
Since Robby can land on 64 and Deeku cannot, Robby will be the one to reach ther food.
