Let's start with the blue states. Out of 50 states, 28 of them were blue.
Therefore, the fraction would be 28/50. Let's reduce it.
28/50=14/25 --> these are the lowest terms for this fraction
Use a calculator to find the decimal solution --> 14/25= .56
Now, let's do the red states. Out of the 50 states, 22 of them were blue.
22/50=11/25 --> lowest terms
Use a calculator --> 11/25= .43
