Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of the amount of money he saves to the amount of money he can spend is 2:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jacob receives $10 per week for his allowance.

His parents have asked him to put four dollars in his savings account and the rest of his allowance in spending money.

Now, to find the ratio of the amount of money he saves to the amount of money he can spend.

Jacob receives per week money = $10.

He saves money = $4.

He can spend money = $\ 10-\ 4=\ 6.$

Now, to get the ratio of money he saves to the money he can spend:

He saves money : he can spend money.

$=4:6$

$=\frac{4}{6}$

On simplifying it:

$=\frac{2}{3}$

$=2:3.$

Therefore, the ratio of the amount of money he saves to the amount of money he can spend is 2:3.
