Jack has 8 cats and 2 dogs. Jill has 7 cats and 4 dogs. How many dogs are there in all? If Jane has 23 cats and I have 2 cats, and then Jane gives me 5 cats, how many more cats does Jane have than I? Explain the process

Answer 1

There are 10 dogs in all. Jane has 25 cats and I have 7 cats. Jane has 18 more cats than I do.

To solve this problem, we first need to add the number of cats and dogs that Jack and Jill have. Jack has 8 cats and 2 dogs, and Jill has 7 cats and 4 dogs. This means that there are 15 cats and 6 dogs in total.

Next, we need to calculate the number of cats that Jane and I have. Jane has 23 cats and I have 2 cats. Jane gives me 5 cats, so I now have 7 cats. This means that Jane has 25 cats and I have 7 cats.

Finally, we need to calculate how many more cats Jane has than I do. Jane has 25 cats and I have 7 cats. This means that Jane has 18 more cats than I do.
