Answer:

4 cats : 5 dogs is your answer

Explanation:

Divide common factors from both ratios. Find the factors:

12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6

15: 1, 3, 5, 15

The greatest common factor is 3 (as they are factors for both). Divide 3 from both numbers:

12:15

(12)/3 : (15)/3

4:5

4 cats : 5 dogs is your answer
