Fat Cats (Posted on 2002-05-14) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Three fat cats can eat three fat rats in three minutes. How long will it take for thirty three fat cats to eat sixty six fat rats?

Three fat cats eat three fat rats in 3 minutes. We can assume each cat eats one rat each, so each cat takes 3 minutes to eat a rat.

When thirty three cats eat sixty six rats, each cat needs to eat 2 rats. Since i rat took 3 minutes, this will take 6 minutes.
