Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a year, we have 52 weeks.

Since he is supposed to have a new order for every two weeks, he needs 52/2 = 26 orders to break the company record.

After 28 weeks, he has got only 28/2 = 14 orders.

He is 4 orders behind. So he has done 14 - 4 = 10 orders.

The sales man needs 26 - 10 = 16 more orders .

Although 28 weeks is gone, we have 52 - 28 = 24 weeks left.

If he needs to make 16 sales in 24 weeks, the proportion is 16/24 = 2/3

He needs to make 2 sales every week to break the record
