Answer 2

Out of the 10th graders, 6 prefer sporting events and 8 prefer movies. That suggests that in total, there are 6 + 8 = 14 tenth graders. Out of the 14, 6 prefer sporting events (this is what the question is asking us for), so the relative frequency is 6/14 (remember to convert to decimal as the question specifies!).
