Greetings,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!

So basically, we have 3 cats catching 3 mice in 3 minutes. That means 1 cat is catching 1 mouse, but it takes it 3 mn.

Now if we have 99 mice and we need to catch them in 99 minutes, we will need 99 cats.

99 cats will catch 99 mice in 99 minutes...meaning each cats will take 1 minute to catch their mice.
