If he has a total of 144 spots for both cats and dogs, then how many more spots does he have for dogs than cats?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Correct Answer: 72 more spots for dogs than cats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find how many more spots Kendrick Kennel has for dogs than cats, we start by understanding the ratio given. The problem states that there are 2 spots for cats for every 7 spots for dogs. This means the ratio of cat spots to dog spots is 2 to 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To work with this, we add the parts of the ratio together. Two parts are for cats and seven parts are for dogs. In total, that gives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 (cats) + 7 (dogs) = 9 parts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These 9 parts together represent all 144 spots available at the kennel. To find the value of one part, we divide the total number of spots by the total number of parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>144 \u00f7 9 = 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, one part equals 16 spots. Now we can determine how many spots are for cats and how many are for dogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cats: 2 parts \u00d7 16 = 32 spots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dogs: 7 parts \u00d7 16 = 112 spots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know the number of spots for each animal, we can find the difference between the number of dog spots and cat spots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>112 (dog spots) &#8211; 32 (cat spots) = 80<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you asked for how many <strong>more<\/strong> spots the kennel has for <strong>dogs than cats<\/strong>, and using this method, the answer we found is 80 more spots for dogs. This appears to contradict the earlier short answer of 72, so let&#8217;s double-check the math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, 2 + 7 = 9 parts, and 144 \u00f7 9 = 16 per part. Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cats: 2 \u00d7 16 = 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dogs: 7 \u00d7 16 = 112<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difference: 112 &#8211; 32 = 80<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So the correct difference is <strong>80<\/strong>, not 72.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Answer: 80 more spots for dogs than cats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-245.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-245.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-245-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-245-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-245-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kendrick Kennel has 2 spots for cats for every 7 dogs.
