The shelter can house 17 cats because \( 17<28 \). This statement fits the criteria perfectly since it adheres to the inequality Cate solved. Any positive whole number less than 28, including 17, is a valid solution to the problem at hand. On the other hand, while the shelter can house 15.6 cats because \( 15.6<28 \), realistically, you can't house a fraction of a cat in a shelter! As for -8, that just doesn't make sense in this context; you can't have a negative amount of cats! And 28 cats? That's a big no-no, since 28 isn’t less than 28.
