In this question , it is given that the division of number of student who said yes by the total number of students which is 15, is equal to 0.9333.....

Let the number of student who said yes are x. So we have


(x)/(15) = 0.9333..

Multiplying both sides by 15


x = 15*0.9333.. \\ x=14

So the required fraction form is


(14)/(15)

And for part b, since we get 14 for x, so number of students who said yes are 14 .
