The equivalent ratio of parrots to the birds is 3:5 at the pet store.

What is the ratio of the numbers?

The ratio of the two numbers is simply the division of two numbers where numerator and denominator are written with : between them.

For example ratio of 20 and 24 is 20/24= 5/6= 5:6

We have,

Total number of the birds at pet store = 20

Total Number of Parrots that Davina counted at pet store = 12

So,

We have to find the equivalent ratio;

So, the Ratio of Parrots to the birds at a pet store = 12:20

i.e. 12:20

⇒  3:5
