To simplify fractions, you divide both the numerator and the denomenator by the same number. Such fractions where there is no such number that would go evenly into both are called simple fraction.
3/6 could be simplifies into 1/2
2/10 could be simplifies into 1/5
30/40 into 3/4
5/7 is a simple fraction
you round it to the top number Fractions and ounces are not convertible.
By checking if its a mixed fraction
you can round to a certain point, or turn them into fractions and simplify.
39/14 rounds to 3
You round to the nearest whole number.
you round it to the top number Fractions and ounces are not convertible.
you round fractions by rounding up or down, you can decide to do this when you look at the numerator and decide if it is half of the denominator, if it is half or more than half, you round up. If it is less than half you round down. Another way you can round fractions is dividing the top number by the bottom number (with a calculator), then if the decimal part is 5 or more, round up! (if the decimal is less than 5, round down.)
Umm you divide...

If the fraction is less than half, round down. If the fraction is half or greater, round up.
Quite simply because you NEED fractions. Fractions exist everywhere whether you chose to acknowledge them or not.
The equivalent of 0.15748031496 inches in fractions is about 157/1000 of an inch. When there are more than four numbers in a decimal it is better to round to the third or fourth number.
A whole number does not include the fractions or decimal places.34.84 would round up to 35.
Because decimal fractions often comprise infinitely long sequences. If you did not round them off, you would never get past the first such number.
