Answer 2

1.
`3:1`

2.
`Total\ money\ saved\ in\ April=\$120`

Explanation:

The missing table of the exercise is attached.

1. You can observe in the table that when Anna contributed $30, her mother contributed $10. Then, you can find the ratio by dividing Anna's contribution by her mother's contribution:

`(30)/(10)=(3)/(1)`

Since a ratio in the form
`(a)/(b)` can be also written in the form
`a:b`, you can rewrite the ratio found above as:

`3:1`

2. Observe the table.

To find the total amount saved in April, you must add the amount of money Anna contributed on that month and the amount of money her mom contributed on that month.

Then, this is:

`Total\ money\ saved\ in\ April=\$30+\$90\\\\Total\ money\ saved\ in\ April=\$120`
