How many metres would the pony cover when taking 24 steps?

[odysseus]

A horse takes three steps to walk the same distance for which a pony takes four steps. Suppose that one step of the horse covers a half-metre. How many metres would the pony cover when taking twenty-four steps?

I keep tying myself in knots, getting nowhere. Any ideas for an intelligent start on this? TIA

If one step is 0.5 m, then three steps is 1.5 m.

If four steps is 1.5 m, then twenty-four steps is 6*1.5 = 9 m.
