The ratio of cats to dogs is 4  : 5

The ratio of cats to dogs is:

Number of cats : Number of dogs

540  :  675

Now you take them down to their lowest terms by dividing both numbers by their highest common factor.

The highest common factor of 540 and 675 is 135 so divide both sides by 135:

540 / 135   :  675 / 135

4  :  5

The ratio of cats to dogs is therefore 4 : 5.
