Answer 1

To write 14 programming errors for every 56 programmers as a rational number, you would express it as the ratio of errors to programmers:

\[ \frac{14}{56} \]

Now, let's simplify this fraction. Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 14:

\[ \frac{14 \div 14}{56 \div 14} = \frac{1}{4} \]

However, in the context of your question, the representation of 14 programming errors for 56 programmers in its original form is:

B. 14/56

So the correct answer is B. 14/56.
