Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is 16/34.
16/34 is wrong
Apologies for the mistake. The correct answer is 16/32.
16/32 is wrong
Apologies for the errors. Let's calculate the correct ratio:

On Monday, there were 12 horses in the field.
On Tuesday, there were 12 + 4 = 16 horses in the field.

The total number of animals on Tuesday is 18 (cows) + 16 (horses) = 34 animals.

Hence, the ratio of horses to the total number of animals on Tuesday is 16/34.
