The four operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Representing and solving word problems involves choosing the correct operation(s).
Multiplication can be used to find a total when a given amount is added multiple times.
The amount Sandy bought is 3 times the amount Randy bought.
Randy bought 2 pounds. Solve for 3 groups of 2.
Since Trina's cat weighs 5 pounds more than Gina's cat weighs, subtract 5 pounds from the weight of Trina's cat.
So, Gina's cat weighs 9 pounds.
