Katy works at a pet store, and is in charge of tracking the cat food supply for the morning, afternoon, and evening shifts. There are currently six cats at their store, and each cat had full food bowls during the morning and afternoon shifts, throughout the entire shift. Each day, the evening shift person replenished the food bowls at the end of their shift. What is the pattern Katy could note from this data?
Answer
A
The cats tend to eat more in the morning.
B
The cats tend to eat more in the afternoon.
C
The cats tend to eat more in the evening.
D
The cats tend to eat more during the night.
Explanation
The bowls stayed full throughout both the morning and afternoon shifts, so the data does not suggest much food was eaten during those shifts. Since the evening worker replenished the bowls at the end of the evening shift, the pattern suggests the cats ate more in the evening. The correct choice is “The cats tend to eat more in the evening.”
