I hope this is not too scary for you! You are being chased by this vicious beast, Smidgin. Frightened for your life, you take off! She is 12 steps away when you see this fearful sight and start running. For every 10 steps you take, she covers 12 bounds. Her bounds are the same length as your steps. How many steps will you take before you get caught? (Hint: this is a good one to do with a drawing of distances.) |
