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

`=(X)/(Y)`

we can plug values of X and Y

`=(76500)/(100000)`

We can cancel last two zeros

`=(765)/(1000)`

we can factor top term

`=(765)/(1000)`

`=(5*153)/(5*200)`

now, we can cancel 5

`=(153)/(200)`

It can not be simplified further

so,

`(X)/(Y)=(153)/(200)`.............Answer
