Write your answer as a FRACTION

Answer 1

Answer:
1/5

Explanation:
If 10 students were presumably interviewed and 2/10 said football whereas the other 8/10 said something else, then the 2/10 fraction can be simplified to 1/5 which is your answer. Hope this helps, have a nice day :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a total of ten students were asked, $\frac{2}{10}$ chose football and $\frac{8}{10}$ chose other sports. $\frac{2}{10}$ simplified is $\frac{1}{5}$, so that's the experimental chance that the next student favors football.
