Question

mason made 8 out of 14 free throws in his last basketball game. write his success as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

The GCD of 8 and 14 is 2.

Now, divide both the numerator (8) and the denominator (14) by 2:

8 ÷ 2 = 4

14 ÷ 2 = 7

So, Mason's success rate as a fraction in simplest form is 4/7.

Answer 2

Answer: 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:\

The fraction of free throws that he made in his last basketball game would be 8/14.

The GCF (greatest common factor) of these 2 numbers would be 2.

We divide the numerator and denominator by 2.

(8/2) / (14/2)

4/7

We cannot further simplify this fraction, so this is his success in simplest form.
