1. **State the problem:** We want to find how many times more mass a sheep has compared to a cat. 2. **Given data:** - Mass of a sheep: $6 \times 10^{1}$ kg - Mass of a cat: $3 \times 10^{0}$ kg 3. **Formula:** To find how many times more mass one object has than another, divide the larger mass by the smaller mass: $$\text{times more} = \frac{\text{mass of sheep}}{\text{mass of cat}}$$ 4. **Calculate:** $$\frac{6 \times 10^{1}}{3 \times 10^{0}} = \frac{6}{3} \times \frac{10^{1}}{10^{0}} = 2 \times 10^{1} = 20$$ 5. **Interpretation:** A sheep has about 20 times more mass than a cat. **Final answer:** A sheep has about **20 times** more mass than a cat.
