Answer:

16

Explanation:

Since the common ratio between cats and dogs is 4:5. We want to know cat and dogs in the ratio X:20. Thus, we can set up the equation as 4/5=X/50. Cross multiplication gets us 80=5X Solving for we get that 80/5 =X....16 =X Now, we know that the number of cats there are is 16
