Answer: The required ratio is,

[tex]2:5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of cats = 8,

Number of dogs = 20,

Thus, the ratio of cats and dogs = [tex]\frac{\text{number of cats}}{\text{number of dogs}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{8}{20}[/tex]

LCM(8, 20) = 4

[tex]=\frac{8\div 4}{20\div 4}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
