A cat spends its time hunting birds. The cat catches 8 birds during the day and twice this many at night. In total, how many birds did the cat catch?
Let's think step by step.
24
At night, the cat catches 8 birds * 2 = 16 birds.

Combined with the birds caught during the day, the cat caught a total of 8 birds + 16 birds = 24 birds.
