Experimental probability means what the probability is concluded by the experiment / trials / real results

Assuming {Section 3 I 32} , means it landed there 32 times out of 80.
We write this as a fraction:
32/80 , we simplify it:
16/40
8/20 <- notice how i'm just halving until I can't anymore
4/10
2/5 <- the simplest answer

The answer is D) 2/5
