If 'DOG' is coded as '3-15-7', what is the code for 'CAT'?
3-1-20
2-1-20
4-1-20
5-1-20
Using the same coding, 'C' = 3, 'A' = 1, 'T' = 20 gives '3-1-20'.

Q: If 'DOG' is coded as '3-15-7', what is the code for 'CAT'?
Solution: Using the same coding, 'C' = 3, 'A' = 1, 'T' = 20 gives '3-1-20'.
Steps: 8
Step 1: Identify the letters in the word 'DOG'. They are D, O, and G.
Step 2: Find the position of each letter in the alphabet: D is the 4th letter, O is the 15th letter, and G is the 7th letter.
Step 3: Write the positions of the letters in 'DOG' as numbers: D = 4, O = 15, G = 7.
Step 4: Notice the coding format used for 'DOG' is '3-15-7'. This means we need to adjust the position of D from 4 to 3. This suggests we subtract 1 from the position of D.
Step 5: Now, apply the same coding to the word 'CAT'. Identify the letters: C, A, and T.
Step 6: Find the position of each letter in the alphabet: C is the 3rd letter, A is the 1st letter, and T is the 20th letter.
Step 7: Write the positions of the letters in 'CAT' as numbers: C = 3, A = 1, T = 20.
Step 8: Combine the numbers for 'CAT' into the same format as 'DOG': '3-1-20'.
