Answer:
23:19
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
