FROGS, TURTLES, or TIE?

8/12/2023

Given that the first two tug-of-war contests shown below are ties, which group (frogs or turtles) will win the third contest, or will it also be a tie?
* HINT: The key is in the 1st contest! 😎
- 2 points for the correct answer (Frogs, Turtles, OR Tie).
- 3 bonus points for a logical explanation on how you got your answer.

ANSWER:
1st contest: If 2 snails = 3 frogs,
then 4 snails = 6 frogs.
2nd contest: If 3 turtles = 4 snails, and 4 snails = 6 frogs, then 3 turtles = 6 frogs. From this, we can conclude that 2 turtles = 4 frogs.
3rd contest: Since 2 turtles = 4 frogs, and there are 5 frogs against 2 turtles,
of course the FROGS would WIN by a ribbit!
WINNERS:
2 points: Kalysta, Isaiah H.
3 point bonus: None

I think the turtles will win because the turtles tied with four slugs and the frogs only tied with 3 slugs

I think number 1 the frogs will win because the snails are slower and the frogs are faster and there are 3 frogs and 2 snails. I also think that number 3 the the frogs are gonna win because there are 5 frogs and 2 turtles.
