We have been asked to find percentage change of the gestation period of horses and cats.

First of all we will find difference between our two numbers.

[tex]\text{Difference}=336-62=274[/tex]

Now we will find percentage of our difference with respect to gestation period of cats.

[tex]\text{Percentage change}=\frac{274}{62} \cdot100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percentage change}=4.41935 \cdot100=441.935\appox442[/tex]

Therefore, gestation period of horses is 442% longer than the gestation period of cats.
