Martha's cat catches 3 rats and 7 birds. Cara's cat catches 3 less than five times as many animals as Martha's cat. How many animals does Cara's cat catch?
How many animals does Martha's cat catch? ** First find the total number of animals Martha's cat catches: 3 rats + 7 birds = <<3+7=10>>10 animals
