Best Answer

Take the number on top and divide it by the number on the bottom (getting the answers in x remainder y form.) The first part of the answer goes in front, and the remainder goes in the new fraction. The bottom of the fraction stays the same. Here is an example:

25/4

how many 4's go into 25, 6 4's go into 25 remeinder 1

so the answer is

6 1/4

that was easy phew!

Divide the numerator by the denominator. Put the remainder on top of the denominator. Example:17/7, 17 divided by 7 = 2 remainder 3, so the result is 2 3/7.
