Answer 2

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

5 cows + 5 pigs + 5 chickens + 5 horses = 20 animals.

To get the ratio of horses to all animals, we need to make the problem into a fraction. Place the horses in the numerator and all animals in the denominator.

$\frac{5}{20}$ ÷ 5 = $\frac{1}{5}$

This ratio can be expressed in any of the following three ways:

1/5

1 to 5

1:5
