Given:
Charlie saves $2 for every $9
Melody saves $4 for every $12
Charlie's ratio of money saved to money earned is:
2 : 9
Melody's ratio of money saved to money earned is:
4 : 12
Divide by 4 which is the greatest common facto, we have:
4÷4 : 12÷4 = 1:3
Therefore,
Charlie's ratio is 2:9
Melody's ratio is 1:3
ANSWER:
