he saves $860 per month
calculate each of his outgoings
rent = 
× $3600 = 
= $900
food = 
× $3600 = 
= $1440
activities = 
× $3600 = 
= $400
savings = $3600 - ( 900 + 1440 + 400 ) = $860
To simplest form of a fraction you find the lowest common factor, usually I use this trick: if both numbers are even I keep dividing by 2 to the numerator and denominator till I can't anymore
In this case:
6 divided by 2= 3
--- ---
8 divided by 2= 4
now I can't simplify an further because 3 isn't an even number, therefore its the simplest form
remember= my trick only works if both number are even, if not you'll have to find the lowest common factor and divide them by that
There would be two buckets left because she only used one of the 3 buckets
6:11 because polygons have 4 side so it would be 24:44 but it just reduces back to 6:11. hope this helped have a good day!!
