How do you write 14 programming errors for every 56 programmers as a rational number?

Answer 1

To write the ratio of 14 programming errors for every 56 programmers as a rational number, we can express it as a fraction.

The ratio can be written as 14/56, where the numerator represents the number of programming errors and the denominator represents the number of programmers.

Since both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 14, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both parts by 14:

14/56 = (14 ÷ 14) / (56 ÷ 14) = 1/4

Therefore, the rational number representing this ratio is 1/4.
