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
