Answer 2

Answer: 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An animal shelter currently only has 30 dogs and 20 Cats.

i.e. Number of dogs = 30

Number of cats = 20

Then, the ratio of cats to animals is given by :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of cats}}{\text{Number of animals}}\\\\=\dfrac{30}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{2} \ \ \text{[By dividing 10 in the numerator and denominator]}$

Therefore, the ratio of cats to animals = 3:2
