Don't divide, factor! ( that is the way I was taught )3/12factor out a 33*1/3*4as 3 appears in the numerator and denominator at least once it can be eliminated1/4======simplest form
find the greatest common number between the numerator and demoninator and divide
divide the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) by the same thing. do this until you cant do it any more. once you can't, your fraction is in simplest form.
When a fraction is in simplest form, then the fraction can not be reduced anymore. For example: 5/25, can be reduced to 1/5 because 5 can go into 5 once, and it can go into 25 5 times (5x5=25)
She should find the greatest common number between the numerator and denominator. Then divide by this number.

When dividing a fraction you leave the first fraction as it is and you change the second fraction into a reciprocal (flip the fraction). Once you have changed the second fraction into a reciprocal, then you would simply *multiply the two fractions together. Once you multiply the two fractions then that would be your final answer. Dont forget to simplify! And remember if the fractions are mixed numbers before you do anything you must change the mixed numbers into improper fractions first! hope this helps! *If you dont know how to multiply fractions then thats a different question
