Please look at my recent helps I have helped someone with the same question if you cant find it be sure to pm me.

Answer 2

we are given

A small company’s net income for the first six months of the year was $76,500

Let's assume net income for first six month as X

so,

$X=76500$

and we have

A small company’s net income for the last six months of the year was $100,000

Let's assume net income for last six month as Y

so, we get

$Y=100000$

now, we have to find the ratio of the first six months of the year to the last six months of the year in simplest form

so, we need to find

$=\frac{X}{Y}$

we can plug values of X and Y

$=\frac{76500}{100000}$

We can cancel last two zeros

$=\frac{765}{1000}$

we can factor top term

$=\frac{765}{1000}$

$=\frac{5*153}{5*200}$

now, we can cancel 5

$=\frac{153}{200}$

It can not be simplified further

so,

$\frac{X}{Y}=\frac{153}{200}$.............Answer
