1. See how many times the denominator or numerator goes into the numerator or denominator.

2. Write the answer as a whole number.

3. Draw a fraction bar next to it and write the original denominator.

4. On top, write the number of how much is left.

5. There is your answer!

Example: 8/3 How much times does the denominator go into the numerator? 2 times. So, 2 is the whole number.

The original denominator given is 3, so you put it in like this: 2 /3 (2 is there because it is the whole number, and you must keep it next to it.)

After, see how much is left. If you add 2 to the denominator, you will get the numerator's number. Put the added number as the numerator So, the answer will be: 2 and 2/3.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
