Answer 1

The fraction that Eric is thinking of is 7/28. This is because, according to his riddle, the numerator is 18 less than the denominator. Therefore, the numerator must be 7 (28 - 18 = 10) and the denominator must be 28. And since 7/28 can be simplified to 1/4, which is equivalent to 25, we know that this is the correct fraction.
