A fraction, by definition, has the following form:


(a)/(b)

Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator. Both are Integers.

In this case you have the following fraction given in the exercise:


(14)/(50)

You can identify that the given fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2. Then:


=(14/2)/(50/2)=(7)/(25)

Since the numetaror and the denominator cannot be divided by the same number, you can determine that the answer is:


(7)/(25)
