If there are 12 more females and the ratio is two up in favour of females that means that 1 equals to 6, so there are 30 females and 18 males. (30 + 18 = 48)
I believe it would be 144 :)
About 39 cats are in the shelter
<span>38 - 7r = 3(6 - 4r)
38 - 7r = 18 - 12r
-7r + 12r = 18 - 38
5r = -20
r = -4</span>
