Answer 1

2/3 of 18 were dogs.

2/3 x 18 = 12

There were 12 dogs.

1/9 of 18 were cats.

1/9 x 18 = 2

There were 2 cats.

There were 12 dogs and 2 cats, so the rest were neither cats nor dogs.

12+2=14

18-14=4

4 animals were neither cats nor dogs.

Final Answer: There were 12 dogs. There were 2 cats. There were 4 animals that were neither cats nor dogs.
