Seventy cats are randomly chosen from different animal shelters in the city. Of these 70 cars12 are kittens. The animal shelters house 2,200 cats each year. Based on the sample data approximately how many cats in the city's shelters are kitten.

Answer 1

We can start by setting up a proportion:

(12 kittens in sample) / (70 cats in sample) = (x kittens in population) / (2,200 cats in population)

Solving for x, we can cross-multiply:

12 * 2,200 = 70x

26,400 = 70x

x = 377.14

Based on the sample data, we can estimate that there are approximately 377 kittens in the city's shelters.
