C)

2 weeks
; 12 : 6
D)
16 cats
3 weeks
; 16 : 3

Answer 1

It would be 8 cats per 1 week.

Explanation:

The reason why i say this is because to find the rate, you have to figure out how many cats would fit into 1 week. So what you have to do is divide 5 by 40 and you get 8 cats within one week.

Answer 2

A. 8 cats per week. if you simplify 40/5, it equals 8/1
