For 14/28 is simplest form would be 1/2 and 8/28 in simplest form would be 2/7. I hope this helps. ^^

To find "What fraction of students prefer Mt Rushmore over Grand Canyon ?", we need to take away Grand Canyon
((8)/(28) ) from Mt Rushmore
((14)/(28) )


(14)/(28) - (8)/(28)\\\\ When \; we \; have\; like\; fractions\; with\; same\; denominator,\; we \; should\; combine \; numerator \\ \\ (14-8)/(28) \\ \\ (6)/(28)


Divide \; numerator\; and \; denominator\; by \; common\; factor\; 2\\ \\ (6 /2 )/(28 / 2) = (3)/(14)

Conclusion:

6/28 fraction of students prefer Mt Rushmore over Grand Canyon.

3/14 is the simplest form of above fraction.
