A hare and a jackal are running a race. Three leaps of the hare are equal to four leaps of the jackal. For every two leaps of the hare, the jackal takes three leaps. Find the ratio of the speed of the hare to the speed of the jackal.
Options.
A) 64:25
B) 8:9
C) 5:8
D) 25:64
E) 4:7
The hare takes 2 leaps and the jackal takes 3 leaps.   1 hare leap = 4/3 jackal leaps   Thus the hare's 2 leaps = 2*(4/3) = 8/3 jackal leaps.   The ratio of their speeds is 8/3:3 = 8:9.   The answer is 8:9.
