Answer 1

To evaluate and simplify \( 32 \div 34 \):

First, we can rewrite the division as a fraction:

\[ \frac{32}{34} \]

Next, we simplify the fraction. Both the numerator and the denominator have a common factor of 2:

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

Thus, the simplified form of \( 32 \div 34 \) is:

\[ \frac{16}{17} \]

Now let's check the answer choices provided:

• \( \frac{6}{8} \) simplifies to \( \frac{3}{4} \)
• \( \frac{8}{9} \) is already in simplest form
• \( \frac{9}{8} \) is already in simplest form and is greater than 1
• \( 2 \) is also not equivalent to our simplified fraction

None of the provided choices matches the correct simplified answer \( \frac{16}{17} \).
