So, if it asks, "What is the ratio of "amount withheld" to "take home pay," you can just replace the "to" with a colon. Like "amount withheld" : "take home pay" which would be 600:1,800. Then you just gotta simplify. You can take out the two zeros and end up with 6:18 to make it easier. Can 18 be divided by 6? Yeah, three times, and 6 can be divided by 6 once. So the answer to A is 1:3. B is a little trickier, right? They don't tell you everything upfront, so you gotta do some math first. So, the ratio this time is "amount withheld" : "total earnings." We know that the first number's gonna be 600 again, but how do we know what her total earnings are? Her total earnings be EVERYTHING she makes, including the amount that's withheld. So you just gotta add up her take home and withheld. 1,800 + 600 = 2,400. So the ratio be 600:2,400. Simplify to 6:24, then again to 1:4. Make sense? Yo Christina,

B is a little trickier, right? They don’t tell you everything upfront, so you gotta do some math first. So, the ratio this time is “amount withheld” : “total earnings.” We know that the first number’s gonna be 600 again, but how do we know what her total earnings are?

Her total earnings be EVERYTHING she makes, including the amount that’s withheld. So you just gotta add up her take home and withheld. 1,800 + 600 = 2,400. So the ratio be 600:2,400. Simplify to 6:24, then again to 1:4.

Make sense?
