Two cats are taking a walk. 1 cat runs off. three cats come back. 1 cat sits down. How many cats in all are there if 6 more cats came back with one of the cats being the one that ran off?
10
thanks
thats hawwt. ur welcome.
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.
First, we have two cats taking a walk. One of them runs off. So we subtract 1 from 2, which gives us 1 cat remaining.
Next, three more cats come back. Now we add those three cats to the 1 cat that remained, resulting in a total of 4 cats.
Then, it says that one cat sits down. This is just additional information and does not affect the total number of cats.
Finally, it says that 6 more cats come back, with one of them being the cat that ran off earlier. So we add those 6 cats to the 4 cats we already had, which gives us a final total of 10 cats.
Therefore, there are 10 cats in total.
