Let the total profit be represented by 1
The internet company spends half their yearly profits on advertising for the next year. The amount of the profit spent on advertising is 1/2 = 0.5
The amount left is 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
Of the remaining half, they spend 1/5 on new computers. It means that the amount spent on new computers is
1/5 * 0.5 = 0.1 = 1/10
Therefore, the fraction of the total profits does the company spend on new computers is
0.1/1 = 0.1 = 1/10
The number line is shown below
