The greyhound leaps 4/5 as many times as the hare
A greyhound's leap is 4/3 times farther.
4/5 * 4/3 = 16/15
The grehound's speed is 16/15 times that of the hare.

3 leaps of hound=4 leaps of hear
1 leaps of hound =4/3 leaps of hear
speeds of hound : hear = 4 *(4/3) : 5 = 16 :15
Answer speeds of hound : hear = 16 :15
