Let's solve these questions one by one:

**Question 4:**
The pet store has:
- 8 cats,
- 12 dogs, and
- 3 rabbits.

The total number of animals is \( 8 + 12 + 3 = 23 \).

The given ratio is 8:23, and this compares:

- **F. dogs to cats**: This would be \( 12:8 \), not \( 8:23 \).
- **G. cats to dogs**: This would be \( 8:12 \), not \( 8:23 \).
- **H. rabbits to cats**: This would be \( 3:8 \), not \( 8:23 \).
- **J. cats to all animals**: Cats are 8, and the total number of animals is 23, so this compares \( 8:23 \), which is the correct option.

So, the correct answer is **J. cats to all animals**.

---

**Question 5:**
The ratio is \( 15:20 \). Let's simplify this ratio:

\[
15:20 = \frac{15}{5} : \frac{20}{5} = 3:4
\]

Now, let's see which of the given options simplifies to \( 3:4 \):
- **A. 5 to 10** simplifies to \( 1:2 \) (incorrect).
- **B. 18 to 25** does not simplify to \( 3:4 \) (incorrect).
- **C. 21 to 28** simplifies to \( 3:4 \) (correct).
- **D. 24 to 30** simplifies to \( 4:5 \) (incorrect).

So, the correct answer is **C. 21 to 28**.

2. If the number of cats doubled, what would the new ratio of cats to all animals be?
3. How do you simplify a ratio like \( 24:36 \)?
4. If the total number of animals were 46, but the ratio of cats to all animals stayed \( 8:23 \), how many cats would there be?
5. Which ratio is equal to \( 9:12 \)?

**Tip:** When simplifying ratios, always divide both parts by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to get the simplest form.
