The ratio 3:5 can be used to describe the relationship between the number of cows to the number of horses in the field. Specifically, for every 3 cows, there are 5 horses.
18:12 and 3:5 are in no way equal!
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, the ratio 3:5 cannot describe the relationship between the number of cows and horses in the field. It was a mistake in my response.
The correct ratio for the number of cows to horses in the field on Monday is 18:12, which simplifies to 3:2. So, for every 3 cows, there are 2 horses in the field.
