Answer 2

Explanation:

Given fractions are
`(32)/(68), (22)/(28), (21)/(49)`

We will reduce them one by one.

`(32)/(68)` ⇒
`((32)/(4) )/((68)/(4))` =
`(8)/(17)` [Dividing numerator and denominator by 4 ]

`(22)/(28)` ⇒
`((22)/(2) )/((28)/(2))` =
`(11)/(14)` [Dividing numerator and denominator by 2 ]

`(21)/(49)` ⇒
`((21)/(7) )/((49)/(7))` =
`(3)/(7)` [Dividing numerator and denominator by 7]
