Please respond to me I don't know if you still need help if you do be sure to pm me.

Answer 2

Net income for the first six months of the years = $76,500

Net income for the first six months of the years = $100,000

Ratio of the first six months of the year to the year to the last six months of the year =
`(76,500)/(100,000)`

To write the above fraction in the lowest form, find the greatest common factor of 76,500 and 100,000 which is 500. Now divide numerator and the denominator by 500.

`(76,500)/(100,000)` =

`(76,500/ 500)/(100,000/ 500)`

=
`(153)/(200)`

Ratio of the first six months of the year to the year to the last six months of the year in simplest form =
`(153)/(200)`
