You could calculate and compare 1/2 of Shinmark’s GDP to 1/4 of Pluton’s for each year. Alternatively, multiply both of the fractions by 4 to make the numbers easier to deal with; compare twice Shinmark’s GDP to all of Pluton’s. Looking at the graph, the only year that twice Shinmark’s GDP isn’t greater than Pluton’s is 2009, so for all the other years, Shinmark’s military spending exceeds Pluton’s.
