The constable had no problem catching the thief who was exactly 27 steps in front of him when he gave chase. While the thief took eight steps to the policeman's five, the policeman had a longer stride; in fact, two of the policeman's strides were equal to five of that of the thief.
How many steps did the constable need to catch the thief?
