please mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer: The required ratio is,

$2:5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of cats = 8,

Number of dogs = 20,

Thus, the ratio of cats and dogs = $\frac{\text{number of cats}}{\text{number of dogs}}$

$=\frac{8}{20}$

LCM(8, 20) = 4

$=\frac{8\div 4}{20\div 4}$

$=\frac{2}{5}$
