To solve this coloring sheet, we need to calculate the answer for every math problem in the picture and then match that number to the color key at the bottom.
Here is the step-by-step calculation for each section:
The Cat's Head and Ears:
*
16 - 3 (Tail tip) = 13 (Yellow)
*
8 + 8 (Tail) = 16 (Red)
*
4 + 7 (Body/Tail) = 11 (Brown)
*
3 + 8 (Ear) = 11 (Brown)
*
18 - 5 (Face) = 13 (Yellow)
*
13 - 2 (Ear) = 11 (Brown)
The Cat's Body and Paws:
*
5 + 9 (Left side) = 14 (Blue)
*
3 + 9 (Left arm) = 12 (Grey)
*
5 + 8 (Right paw) = 13 (Yellow)
*
6 + 6 (Right paw) = 12 (Grey)
*
4 + 8 (Left paw) = 12 (Grey)
*
7 + 9 (Right arm) = 16 (Red)
*
2 + 13 (Shirt) = 15 (Green)
*
6 + 7 (Shirt) = 13 (Yellow)
*
18 - 3 (Skirt) = 15 (Green)
The Boots:
*
15 - 2 (Left boot) = 13 (Yellow)
*
13 + 2 (Left boot) = 15 (Green)
*
16 - 1 (Right boot) = 15 (Green)
*
19 - 6 (Right boot) = 13 (Yellow)
The Background (Clouds, Bushes, Road):
*
8 + 6 (Cloud) = 14 (Blue)
*
12 + 2 (Cloud) = 14 (Blue)
*
7 + 7 (Sky) = 14 (Blue)
*
10 + 5 (Bush) = 15 (Green)
*
11 + 4 (Bush) = 15 (Green)
*
17 - 2 (Bush) = 15 (Green)
*
17 - 2 (Grass) = 15 (Green)
*
19 - 4 (Road) = 15 (Green)
The Color Key:
* 16 = Red
* 14 = Blue
* 12 = Grey
* 13 = Yellow
* 15 = Green
* 11 = Brown
Final Answer:
Based on the calculations above, here is the coloring guide for the image:
Yellow (13): Cat's face, left ear, tail tip, right paw, shirt number, both boots.
Red (16): Cat's tail, right arm.
Brown (11): Cat's body/tail area, left ear, right ear.
Blue (14): Clouds and sky area.
Grey (12): Cat's left arm, both paws.
Green (15): Cat's shirt, skirt, boots details, bushes, grass, and road.
