Answer 1

To evaluate \( \frac{32}{34} \) and simplify it, we can first divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

The GCD of 32 and 34 is 2.

Now we can simplify:

\[ \frac{32 \div 2}{34 \div 2} = \frac{16}{17} \]

Since \( \frac{16}{17} \) cannot be simplified further, the simplified answer is \( \frac{16}{17} \).

None of the provided options (98, 9 eighths, 89, 8 ninths, 68, 6 eighths, 2) seem to correctly represent the simplified fraction.

Please check the question again, or verify if any option might be a misrepresentation of \( \frac{16}{17} \).
