Answer: 16 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation: If there are 20 cats and the ratio of dogs to cats is 4:5, I can divide 20 by 5. This equaling 4.

Then, you can multiply 4 x 4 to find the number of dogs there are in the animal shelter if there are 20 cats. So, that means there are 16 dogs and the ratio can be 16:20.
