The frog jumps 3 steps at time. Which numbers will the frog touch? Will it touch 67?

Correct Answer

Step 1: The frog jumps 3 steps at a time, so it lands on multiples of 3.

Step 2: Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, ...

Step 3: To check if 67 is a multiple of 3: 67 ÷ 3 = 22 remainder 1

Step 4: Since remainder ≠\neq 0, 67 is not a multiple of 3.

Answer: The frog will touch multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, ... ∴ The frog will not touch 67.

Explanation

The chapter introduces the concept of multiples through animal jumps. The frog jumps 3 steps at a time, so it lands on multiples of 3. To check if 67 is a multiple of 3, we divide 67 by 3: 67 ÷ 3 = 22 with remainder 1. Since there is a remainder, 67 is not a multiple of 3, so the frog will not land on it.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify that frog jumps 3 steps at a time, so it lands on multiples of 3

  2. Step 2: List multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30...

  3. Step 3: To check if 67 is a multiple of 3, divide 67 by 3

  4. Step 4: 67 ÷ 3 = 22 remainder 1

  5. Step 5: Since remainder is not 0, 67 is not a multiple of 3
