    Shouldn't it still be three cats, unless there is a fatigue factor we know nothing about.

    One, provided he's a dedicated, hungry little bugger who doesn't take any breaks.

    Four. A fourth cat would have to catch one extra mouse sometime within in 100 minutes, else the three would only catch 99 mice. (you can't catch a 1/3 of a mouse). A very old and lazy cat, perhaps,...or a young kitten.

    3

    Assume it takes 3 cats to catch one mouse per minute. If their rate never changes then the same 3 cats can get the job done in 100 minutes.

    100 cats because if there is 3 mice caught in three minuets and it took three cats to do that. Put all of them in fractions and divide by 3 then you get one
    3/3 cats, 3/3 mice caught, 3/3 minutes.
    =1/1 =1/1 =1/1
    then we got 100 mice caught in 100 minutes. Its clear that you times 1 by 100 in the caught mice and the minutes it took.IF you do that to one fraction you have to do it to all of them make it 100 cats to catch 100 mice in 100 minutes
