Answer: The ratio of the first 6 months to the last 6 months is 0.765.
First, we need to determine the amount of money they had in each 6 month period.
In the first 6 months they had: 6 x 76500 = 459000
In the second 6 months they had: 6 x 100000 = 600000
Divide the 2 values to find the ratio: 459000 / 600000 = 0.765
Have a nice day
