Answer: the difference is 4 cats
Step-by-step explanation:
use the given ratio to find the number of adult cats on Sunday. The ratio of adult cats to kittens is 4:3, and on Sunday, there were 18 kittens.The total parts of the ratio are 4+3=7 parts.
Each part represents 18/3=6 kittens.
Now, to find the number of adult cats on Sunday, multiply the number of parts representing adult cats by the number of kittens per part:
Adult cats on Sunday=4×6=24
On Thursday, there were 28 adult cats.
Now, find the difference between the number of adult cats on Thursday and Sunday: Difference=Adult cats on Thursday−Adult cats on Sunday
Difference=28−24=4
So, the difference between the number of adult cats at the pet center on Thursday and Sunday is 4.
