Final answer:

Aaron's success rate is 1/2 and Luring School's success rate is 6/8 (or 3/4 when simplified). Luring School is more successful with a higher success rate of 3/4 compared to Aaron's 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Aaron: 1/2, Luring School: 6/8

The fraction that represents Aaron's success rate is 1/2, which means he scored one goal out of two attempts.

The fraction that represents Luring School's success rate is 6/8, which can be simplified to 3/4, meaning they scored six goals out of eight attempts.

To compare who is more successful, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the easiest denominator to work with is 4. Let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 4:

Aaron: 2/4, Luring School: 3/4

Now we can see that Luring School had a higher success rate, as they scored 3 goals out of 4 attempts, while Aaron scored 2 goals out of 4 attempts.
