To determine the ratio of savings to checking, we must turn them into a ratio. where 7.50 is the () and 5.50 is the ()

• 7.50S:5.50C
Simplify it by dividing them by 5 each
The expressions should be:
1.50:1.10

Multiply it by 10, which turns it into an integer.
1.50S(10) = 15
1.10C(10) = 11

Therefore, the ratio of savings to checking is 15:11.

Firstly make a ratio
S= Savings Account
C= Checking Account
S:C
7.50:5.50
Simplify it down to
1.50:1.10
However the ratios must be integers
So multiply all by 10
15:11
S:C
