To find the fraction that represents the part of the adoptions for cats and dogs, we need to add together the fractions for cats and dogs.
We know that 2/3 of the adopted animals were dogs and 1/4 of the adoptions were cats.
Converting these fractions to have the same denominator, we can rewrite them as:
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
Adding these fractions together, we get:
8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12
Therefore, the fraction that represents the part of the adoptions for cats and dogs is 11/12.
So, the answer is 11/12.
