Question
Answer:
Answer:
The hyena runs 5 kilometers for every kilometer the mouse runs

Explanation:
We are given that:
A hyena runs 2 kilometers for every 2/5 kilometer a mouse runs.
We can simply use cross multiplication to know how many km the hyena runs for every one km the mouse runs as follows:
hyena runs 2 km ..............> mouse runs 2/5 km
?? km  ..............................> mouse runs 1 km
number of km = (1*2) / (2/5) = 5 km
