    Answer: 80 more spots

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 cats plus seven dogs is nine.

    144/9=16.

    Multiply 7 and 2 by 16 and you will get 112 and 32 respectively.

    112-32=80 more spots.

    It is given Kendrick's kennel has 2 spots for cats for every 7 spots for dogs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Kendrick'a kennel has 2x spots for cats.

    So Kendrick will have 7x spots for dogs.

    Total number of spots for cats and dogs = 2x+7x=9x.

    If he has total of 144 spots for both cats and dogs then.

    9x=144

    Dividing both sides by 9

    x=16.

    Number of spots for cats = 2x=2 (16) = 32

    Number of spots for dogs = 7x=7 (16) = 112.

    Number of spots dogs have more than sats = 112-32=80

    Kendrick kennel has 80 more spots for dogs than cats.
