If it is an Improper Fraction then you have to simplify which is the same thing is reducing.

How do you add and subtract fractions in math?

You need common denominators. Then add or subtract the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction it is common practice to reduce it to a mixed number.


How do you write a percent as mixed fraction?

A percent cant be a mixed fraction unless its a percent above 100%...but EXAMPLE: if its 135% it would be (1 35/100) then u would need to reduce Example: 684% it would be (6 84/100) and make sure you reduce...to reduce just divide each side of the fraction by the same number...Example: the fraction is 6 84/100 u would divide each side by 2 so its now 42/50 then do it again 21/25 and you do that over and over again till u cant anymore. if u cant divide by 2 then try 3 and so on until it divides down. Hope that helped...kind of confusing


How to add mixed fractions?

you can't add nor subtract mixed fractions so you need to turn it into a fraction, if you wanna turn a mixed fraction into a fraction you need to multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator, then you can multiply normally (make sure you simplify and turn it into a mixed fraction your answer)


How do you add a negative fraction to a mixed fraction?

To add a negative fraction to a mixed fraction, first convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Then, find a common denominator for both fractions. Next, add the numerators and keep the common denominator. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if needed. If the negative fraction has a smaller absolute value than the mixed fraction, you may need to borrow or regroup to ensure proper subtraction.


0.6 as a mixed number?

a mixed number is needed when the numerator is bigger than the denominator however .6 as a fraction is simply equal to 6/10 which will reduce to 3/5 and that is the numerator isn't bigger than the denomenator meaning its not an improper fraction and you do not need to change it to a mixed number so the answer is simply 3/5 0 3/5
