Solution

The correct option is C 7
Number of children at the house = 3
Number of legs for the children = 3 × 2
= 6

Total number of legs at the house = 34

Total number of legs for the cats = 34 - 6
= 28

Number of legs each cat has = 4

Total number of cats at the house = 28 ÷ 4
= 7

Thus, there are 7 cats at the house.
