Answer 2

Answer: 3:2

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 :-

`\frac{\text{Number of cats}}{\text{Number of animals}}\\\\=(30)/(20)\\\\=(3)/(2) \ \ \text{[By dividing 10 in the numerator and denominator]}`

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