Regan earns $1380 per month out of which he saves $1140 per month. What is the ratio (in the lowest form) of Regan's income to his savings? $$

23:19

Step-by-step explanation:

This questions is looking for this ratio:

income:savings

Regan's income is $1,380 per month.

Regan's savings is $1,140 per month.

Substitue those numbers in our original ratio, and you'll get this:

1380:1140

However, this question wants the lowest form of the ratio.

To do that, you can find the GCF (greatest common factor) and divide both number's by it, or you can just randomly divide them by small numbers you know both of them are divisible by.

I'm going to use the 2nd method because it's usually quicker for big numbers like these:

1380/10 = 138

1140/10 = 114

138/2 = 69

114/2 = 57

69/3 = 29

57/3 = 19

29 and 19 are prime numbers, so you can't divide them anymore. This is how we know we've reached the lowest terms of these numbers.

So the answer is 29:19
