Answer: 250 steps
Explanation:
The data we were given;
When Andrew walks 3 steps; Jeffrey walks 5 steps to catch up
That's is to say
Andrew's 3 steps = Jeffrey's 5 steps
Now Andrew's 150 steps = Jeffrey's X steps
So we have to find the number of steps (X) Jeffrey would have to take to catch up with Andrew.
3 = 5
150 = X
3X = 150 × 5
X = (150 × 5) / 3
X = 750 / 3
X = 250
Therefore Jeffrey would need 250 steps to catch up with Andrew.
