Question

A small company’s net income for the first six months of the year was $76,500 and for the last six months it was $100,000. What is the ratio of the first six months of the year to the last six months of the year in simplest form

Answer 1

76.5:100
because if you simplify 100,000 to 100 by diving by 1 k 
then you can do the same and divide 76500 by 1k and get 76.5
