You look for common factors in the numerator and denominator. Then you divide both by the common factor. For example, in 6/9, both numbers are divisible by 3. If you divide them by 3, you get the equivalent fraction 2/3.

Or you can divide the denominator and the numerator (the bottom and top numbers) by the same number. eg. 2/8 could become 1/4 because I divided the (first) fraction by 2

How do your borrow from a whole number when subtracting fractions?

A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction. A fraction is a number that is less than whole and that has a denominator underneath a numerator. To add or subtract mixed numbers, add or subtract the fractions, then add or subtract the whole numbers. If the fraction portion of a mixed number, such as 2 5/6, is more than the fraction portion of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from, such as 3 1/6, you must borrow from the whole number of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from to make its fraction bigger...
