Divide the cat's 36 toys by the puppy's 4 toys, resulting in 9 times more the cat. The correct option is D.
To find out how many times more toys the cat has than the puppy, we need to subtract the number of toys the puppy has from the number of toys the cat has.
The question involves comparing two quantities to find out how many times more one is than the other.
Leslie's cat has 36 toys and her puppy has 4 toys.
To determine how many times more toys the cat has than the puppy, divide the number of toys the cat has by the number of toys the puppy has.
So, you calculate 36 toys (for the cat) ÷ 4 toys (for the puppy) = 9. This means Leslie's cat has 9 times more toys than the puppy does.
Therefore, the answer to the question is D.9.
