How can you simplify fraction?
To simplify a fraction, you find a number that can be divided by the fraction you are simplifying. sometimes this does not always work and the fraction can not be simplified.
What do you do when you need to simplify a fraction?
You divide the top number by the bottom number, so if the fraction was 5/15s, it could simplify to 1/3.
How do you simplify a improper fraction?
You can simplify an improper fraction, unless the numbers are prime. Simplify it like how you would regularly, but don't forget that you can always turn it into a mixed number.
What is 2.6 as a mixed number simplify the fraction?
It is: 3 and 3/5
What equation is equivalent to 3 over 15?
That's not an equation - an equation has an equal sign. To get an equivalent FRACTION, you can 1) Simplify the fraction. Look for common factors between the two numbers, then divide both parts of the fraction by this number. 2) Expand either the original fraction or the simplified fraction, by multiplying both parts by some number - the same number in both cases.

How do you simplify the number 48 as a fraction?
48 as a fraction = 48/1

What is 0.01953125 as a fraction?
As a fraction, the number becomes 1953125 / 100000000. We can simplify it to 5 / 256.
What is 3 equivalent to 3 15?
That's not an equation - an equation has an equal sign. To get an equivalent FRACTION, you can 1) Simplify the fraction. Look for common factors between the two numbers, then divide both parts of the fraction by this number. 2) Expand either the original fraction or the simplified fraction, by multiplying both parts by some number - the same number in both cases.
What is 3 over 76 simplifed?
3/76 is in simplest form. 3 is a prime number that will not go into 76, so there are no factors in common in order to simplify the fraction.
What is 2.6 as a mixed number simplify the fraction?
It is: 3 and 3/5
How do you change fraction to a mixed number?
You do the numerator divided by the denominator, then simplify the fractions if you can. (this is how you change a improper fraction to a mixed number, you cannot change a proper fraction to a mixed number)

How do you turn a mixed number in to a fraction then into it's simplest form?
multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator. then simplify the fraction as usual
How do you divide a fraction and amixed number?
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
