The fractional portion remaining that he still needs to decorate is 9/23.
9/23
To find the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate, we need to determine the number of cookies he still needs to decorate compared to the total number of cookies he made.
Skyler made a total of 23 cookies, and he decorated 14 of them. Therefore, the number of cookies he still needs to decorate is 23 - 14 = 9.
Now we can calculate the fractional portion remaining by dividing the number of cookies Skyler still needs to decorate by the total number of cookies he made:
Fractional portion remaining = Number of cookies still needs to decorate / Total number of cookies
Fractional portion remaining = 9 / 23
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1 in this case:
Fractional portion remaining = 9 / 23
So, the fractional portion remaining that Skyler still needs to decorate is 9/23.
