Each serving: (116)/3 =1/48.
Efficiency of b: (1/48) x4 =112.

The hound found a running rabbit in front of it at 10 meter, and immediately caught up with it. The hound took a big step. It runs five steps, and the rabbit runs nine steps, but the rabbit is fast. The hound runs two steps, but the rabbit can run three. How many meters can a hound run to catch up with a rabbit?
Speed ratio: hound: hare =9x2:5x3= 18: 15.
Every time the hound runs 18m, it catches up with the hare 18- 15 = 3m.
To catch up with 10 meter, you need to run: (10/3)x 18=60 (meters).
