Answer:
Explanation:
There are three times as many orange cats as black and white cats,
o = 3(b + w)
two times as many black and white cats as grey cats,
b + w = 2g
three fewer gray cats than white cats,
g = w - 3
three times as many white cats as calico cats,
w = 3L
and five white cats
w = 5
There is a problem with this.
There are 5 white cats.
There are 3 times as many white cats as calico cats.
That means there are 5/3 calico cats.
How can the number of a certain type f cats be a non-whole number?
It seems that the number of white cats must be a multiple of 3, but 5 is not.
