To find the correct color for the cat, we need to solve the math problems inside the shape of the cat and match the answer to the color key on the left.
Step 1: Solve the math problems on the cat.
Looking at the cat in the bottom left corner, there are two simple addition problems written on its body:
1. On the main part of the body, the problem is
2 + 1.
2. On the tail, the problem is
4 - 1.
Let's calculate the answers:
* $2 + 1 = 3$
* $4 - 1 = 3$
Both problems give us the number
3.
Step 2: Match the number to the color key.
Now, look at the list of colored pencils on the left side of the page:
* Purple is 1
* Blue is 2
*
Yellow is 3
* Orange is 4
* Green is 5
* Pink is 6
* Brown is 7
* Red is 8
Since our answer is
3, we match it with the pencil labeled
3.
Conclusion:
The pencil labeled 3 is
Yellow. Therefore, the cat should be colored yellow.
Final Answer: Yellow
