A horse takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a goat takes 4 steps. Suppose 1 step of the dog covers 1/2 of a metre. How many metres would the goat cover in taking 24 steps.

The goat would cover 9 meters in taking 24 steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a mistake in the question so the correct question is below:

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 =

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 =

Thus, the distance cover by the goat in 24 steps =

=

=

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