Mother rabbit hops 8steps at a time while baby rabbit hops 4steps at a time. which steps will they both hop on? Draw on the number line to find out.
so, did you draw on the number line?
did you notice that every multiple of 8 is also a multiple of 4?
To find the steps that both the mother rabbit and the baby rabbit will hop on, we can use a number line.
Let's start by drawing a number line and marking the starting point for both the mother and baby rabbits. We'll represent the mother rabbit's hops as M and the baby rabbit's hops as B.
__________M_________B_________
Now, let's determine the distances covered by each rabbit with each hop and mark them on the number line.
The mother rabbit hops 8 steps at a time, so we can mark every 8th number starting from her initial position.
__________M____8____16____24____32____40____48____56____64____B_________
The baby rabbit hops 4 steps at a time, so we can mark every 4th number starting from his initial position.
__________M____8____16____24___B___32____40___B___48____56____64____B_________
By looking at the number line, we can see that the mother rabbit and the baby rabbit will both hop on the numbers 24, 32, 40, and 48.
So, the steps that both rabbits will hop on are: 24, 32, 40, and 48.
