On one side of a football stadium are 30 suites on the circle level. Fourteen of the suites have 24 seats each, and the rest have 18 seats. Tyler says that 14/30 us the simplest form of the fraction to describe the suites with 24 seats. Is he correct? Use model's to support you conclusion and explain why Tyler is correct or incorrect.

The simplest form of a fraction occurs when the numerator and denominator cannot get any smaller (while still being integers)

In the stadium there are 30 suites.

14 suites.............24 seats
16 suites..............18 seats

The suites with 24 seats are 14 out of 30 which can be represented as 14/30.

However, the simplest fraction would be 

  7*2        7
------- = ------ 
 15*2      15


This is why Tyler is incorrect
