Let's see -

What number goes into 14 and 35 evenly? 7, right? So, let's see how many times 7 goes into each number.

7 goes into 14 twice

And 7 goes into 35 5 times

So, now we can rewrite our fraction based on the steps we've just solved:

2/5 is our final answer. Want to check that?

Divide 14 by 35

And then divide 2 by 5 and see if their equivalent :)

14 ÷ 35 = 0.4, or, 40%

2 ÷ 5 = 0.4, or, 40%

Whaddya know! They're equal!
