Answer:

(a) 29/69

Explanation:

It can help to be familiar with divisibility rules. Even numbers are divisible by 2, so the fraction 174/414 can immediately be reduced to 87/207.

Both numbers have a digit total that is divisible by 3, so each of these numbers can further be divided by 3, reducing the fraction to 29/69. The number 29 is prime, so this fraction cannot be reduced further.

The reduced fraction is ...

made shots/attempts = 174/414 = 29/69

__

Additional comment

As is often the case, a calculator can help you identify arithmetic expressions that have the same value (are equivalent).

174/414 ≈ 0.42028986

29/69 ≈ 0.42028986 . . . . same value

87/207 ≈ 0.42028986 . . . . same value, but 29/69 is reduced

17/41 ≈ 0.41453415 . . . . . not equivalent

14/46 ≈ 0.30434783 . . . .not equivalent (and not reduced; both numbers are even)
