Answer 1

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

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

This fraction can be simplified. By dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 14, we get:

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

However, if the question specifically asks for the representation without simplification, you would choose:

**A. 14 over 56**

as the rational number that represents this scenario.
