To evaluate \( \frac{32}{34} \), we can simplify the fraction.
- The numbers 32 and 34 both have a common factor of 2.
- We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
\[ \frac{32 \div 2}{34 \div 2} = \frac{16}{17} \]
So, \( \frac{32}{34} = \frac{16}{17} \).
Now, let's match this to one of the provided options. The simplified form, \( \frac{16}{17} \), does not directly correspond to any of the given responses. Therefore, none of the responses (686 eighths, 898 ninths, 2298) match the correct simplified result.
However, the simplest form of \( \frac{32}{34} \) is \( \frac{16}{17} \). If you need to choose from the responses, check if there's further information to convert \( \frac{16}{17} \) correctly into another format mentioned in the options.
