To find the fraction of students at West High School who play football, we need to divide the number of students who play football by the total number of students.

The number of students who play football is given as 14. The total number of students is not given in the question. As a result, we cannot determine a specific fraction.

If we are given the total number of students, we can divide 14 (number of students who play football) by that total number to find the fraction.
what is the fraction
Apologies for the confusion. To find the fraction of students at West High School who play football, we need to divide the number of students who play football by the total number of students.

Let's say the total number of students at West High School is x. Since 25% of the students play a sport, we can write this as (25/100)x or (1/4)x.

Of the students who play a sport, 14 play football. So we can write this as (14/25)*((1/4)x).

Therefore, the fraction of students at West High School who play football is (14/25)*((1/4)x) or (14/100)x or 14/100, which simplifies to 7/50.

So, the fraction of students at West High School who play football is 7/50.
simple form
Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the fraction 7/50.

To simplify a fraction, we can divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 7 and 50 is 1.

Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 1 gives us:

7 ÷ 1 / 50 ÷ 1 = 7/50

Therefore, the simplified fraction of students at West High School who play football is 7/50.
no
Apologies once again. The fraction 7/50 is already in its simplest form. There are no common factors other than 1 that can be divided out from both the numerator and denominator.

Therefore, the fraction 7/50 is already in its simplest form.
that is not the right fraction
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate.

Out of the students who play a sport, 14 play football. We know that 25% of the students play a sport, so if we let x represent the total number of students at West High School, then 25% of x is equal to the number of students who play a sport, which is also equal to 14.

Mathematically, we can write this as:

0.25 * x = 14

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:

x = 14 / 0.25
x = 56

So, the total number of students at West High School is 56.

Now, to find the fraction of students who play football, we divide the number of students who play football (14) by the total number of students (56):

Fraction of students who play football = 14 / 56

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 14:

14 ÷ 14 / 56 ÷ 14 = 1/4

Therefore, the fraction of students at West High School who play football is 1/4.

2/5 x 1/4
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

So, to calculate 2/5 multiplied by 1/4:

(2/5) * (1/4) = (2 * 1) / (5 * 4) = 2/20

However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

2/20 = (2 ÷ 2) / (20 ÷ 2) = 1/10

Therefore, 2/5 multiplied by 1/4 is equal to 1/10.
2/5 / 1/4
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, to calculate 2/5 divided by 1/4:

(2/5) / (1/4) = (2/5) * (4/1) = (2 * 4) / (5 * 1) = 8/5

However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1:

8/5 = (8 ÷ 1) / (5 ÷ 1) = 8/5

Therefore, 2/5 divided by 1/4 is equal to 8/5.
-2/17 / -1/2
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, to calculate (-2/17) divided by (-1/2):

(-2/17) / (-1/2) = (-2/17) * (-2/1) = (2 * 2) / (17 * 1) = 4/17

Therefore, (-2/17) divided by (-1/2) is equal to 4/17.
11.1 / 3
To divide a decimal by a whole number, you can divide the decimal as a numerator by the whole number as a denominator.

So, to calculate 11.1 divided by 3:

Therefore, 11.1 divided by 3 is equal to 3.7.
4 1/3 / - 1 1/5
To divide mixed numbers, you first need to convert them into improper fractions.

So, let's convert the mixed numbers 4 1/3 and -1 1/5 into improper fractions.

4 1/3 = (4 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 13/3
-1 1/5 = (-1 * 5 + 1) / 5 = -6/5

Now, we can divide the improper fractions:

(13/3) / (-6/5) = (13/3) * (-5/6)

To simplify the fraction, we multiply the numerators and the denominators together:

(13 * -5) / (3 * 6) = -65 / 18

Therefore, 4 1/3 divided by -1 1/5 is equal to -65/18.
-65/18 as a mixed number
To convert -65/18 into a mixed number, we divide the numerator (-65) by the denominator (18). The quotient becomes the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part.

-65 divided by 18 is -3 with a remainder of -11.

Therefore, -65/18 as a mixed number is -3 11/18.
5.36 x -3.1
To multiply decimals, we can multiply them as if they were whole numbers and then adjust the decimal point according to the number of decimal places.

So, to calculate 5.36 multiplied by -3.1, ignoring the decimal point:

536 * (-31) = -16576

Since there are two decimal places in 5.36 and one decimal place in -3.1, we need to place the decimal point two places from the right in the product:

-165.76

Therefore, 5.36 multiplied by -3.1 is equal to -165.76.
no
I apologize for the mistake. Let's calculate it correctly this time.

To multiply decimals, multiply them as if they were whole numbers, and then count the total number of decimal places in both numbers. Move the decimal point in the product to the left by that number of places.

5.36 multiplied by -3.1:

5.36 * (-3.1) = -16.616

In this case, there are two decimal places in 5.36 and one decimal place in -3.1, so the product will have a total of three decimal places.

Therefore, 5.36 multiplied by -3.1 is equal to -16.616.
-70.55 / (0.5)
To divide a decimal by a decimal, you can multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

So, to calculate -70.55 divided by 0.5:

-70.55 / 0.5 = -70.55 * (1/0.5)

To simplify, we can rewrite 1/0.5 as 2:

-70.55 * 2 = -141.1

Therefore, -70.55 divided by 0.5 is equal to -141.1.
-0.539 / (- 0.11)
To divide a decimal by a decimal, you multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

So, to calculate -0.539 divided by -0.11:

-0.539 / -0.11 = -0.539 * (1 / -0.11)

To simplify, we can rewrite 1 / -0.11 as -9.09:

-0.539 * -9.09 = 4.91351

Therefore, -0.539 divided by -0.11 is equal to 4.91351.
-4.32 x -1.25
To multiply decimals, multiply them as if they were whole numbers and then adjust the decimal point according to the number of decimal places.

So, to calculate -4.32 multiplied by -1.25:

Since both numbers are negative, the product will be positive.

Therefore, -4.32 multiplied by -1.25 is equal to 5.4.
(2.5)(-1.3)
To multiply decimals, multiply them as if they were whole numbers and then adjust the decimal point according to the number of decimal places.

So, to calculate 2.5 multiplied by -1.3:

2.5 * -1.3 = -3.25

Therefore, (2.5)(-1.3) is equal to -3.25.
-1/6 / 2/9
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, to calculate -1/6 divided by 2/9:

(-1/6) / (2/9) = (-1/6) * (9/2)

To simplify, we can cancel common factors between the numerators and denominators:

(-1 * 9) / (6 * 2) = -9/12

This fraction can be further simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

(-9/12) ÷ 3/3 = -3/4

Therefore, -1/6 divided by 2/9 is equal to -3/4.
32 + (−72.1)
To add a positive number to a negative number, we find the difference between their absolute values and assign the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.

So, to calculate 32 + (-72.1):

32 + (-72.1) = -40.1

Therefore, 32 + (-72.1) is equal to -40.1.
