Answer 1

Your answer would be 29/69,you get this answer,because they both have the greatest common factor of 6,so you would divide the numerator and denominator by 6 and get 29/69

Answer 2

Answer: The fraction of the shots he make is $\dfrac{87}{207}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of shots a basketball player attempted = 414

Number of shots he make = 174

We need to find the fraction of the shots the player make.

So, Fraction of the shots the player make is given by

$\dfrac{Make}{attempted}\\\\=\dfrac{174}{414}\\\\=\dfrac{87}{207}$

Hence, the fraction of the shots he make is $\dfrac{87}{207}$
