What is the percentage equivalent of the fraction 14/22?

The correct answer is: 64%

To find the percentage equivalent of the fraction 14/22, you first simplify the fraction. Divide both the numerator (14) and the denominator (22) by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. So, 14 divided by 2 equals 7, and 22 divided by 2 equals 11, resulting in the simplified fraction of 7/11. Next, to convert this fraction to a percentage, you divide the numerator by the denominator (7 ÷ 11) and then multiply by 100: 7 ÷ 11 ≈ 0.6363 (rounded to four decimal places). To convert to a percentage, multiply by 100: 0.6363 × 100 ≈ 63.63%. This rounds to approximately 64%. Therefore, the percentage equivalent of the fraction 14/22 is 64%. This is why the correct answer is the choice that represents 64%.
