B. because so what u need to do is.....

8.5÷11=  0.77272... so then you try the other side which is

17÷22= 0.77272... and so your answer will be

                                         B. 8.5/11 = 17/22

so the 8.5/11 will be reduced by half.

half of 8.5 is 4.25.

half of 11 is 5.5............................[tex]\bf \stackrel{original}{\cfrac{8.5}{11}}=\stackrel{reduction}{\cfrac{4.25}{5.5}}[/tex]
