1,170,000 Smartphones were returned over a 6-month period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so to start off, 15% of 1,300,000 is 195,000. Now if everything remains the same over the next 5 months, you just need to multiply the 195,000 by 6 to get the 6 month return rate. This results in the number of 1,170,000 Smartphones Returned over a 6-month period.
