The reduced form of the fraction 28/32 is 7/8.
To find the reduced form of a fraction, we need to divide both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
In this case, the GCD of 28 and 32 is 4 (since the factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, and the factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32).
So, divide both 28 and 32 by 4:
28 ÷ 4 = 7
32 ÷ 4 = 8
The reduced form of the fraction 28/32 is 7/8.
Therefore, the correct answer choice is 7/8.
To find the reduced form of a fraction, we need to simplify the numerator and denominator by dividing them both by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 28 and 32 is 4.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4, we get:
28 ÷ 4 = 7
32 ÷ 4 = 8
Therefore, the reduced form of the fraction 28/32 is 7/8.
