Answer 2

The fraction $\frac{7}{35}$ represents how many games Krista's softball team lost out of the 35 games Krista's team played.

To find the percent of games that Krista's team lost, we need to turn the fraction $\frac{7}{35}$ into a percent.

We can reduce $\frac{7}{35}$ by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 7 and 35 using 7.

7 ÷ 7 = 1

35 ÷ 7 = 5

Now, we have our reduced fraction.

1 ÷ 5 = 0.2

0.2 × 100 = 20%

Therefore, Krista's softball team lost 20% of their games.
