Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 28

75% of 28 = 75% × 28

= 0.75 × 28 = 21

This means 21 students have met their reading goal

Fraction of 28 students that met their reading goal = 21/28

Divide numerator and denominator by 7

3/4

Attaching the label:

I omitted the first label on both lines: it should be 0 and 0% respectively

28/4 = 7

100%/4 = 25%

Each demacation represent 7 units on the first line

Each dividing line represent 25% on the second line
