An irrational fraction can be reduced. For example, sqrt(20)/6 = sqrt(5)/3
It means to reduce a fraction to its simplest terms as for example 5/20 = 1/4 in its simplest form
No. 5/12 doesn't reduce to anything.
reduce something is to make the amount of something smaller. For example you can reduce your electric bill by unplugging the refrigerator.
To reduce a fraction you would just simplify the fraction to its lowest terms. For example: 20/5 reduced would be 4. Another example: 4/8 reduced would equal 1/2.

Example sentence - I would like to reduce my tax liability by 30% this year.
Example: 5/18 x 9/20 Neither 5/18 nor 9/20 can be reduced by themselves, but you can cross-reduce them. Take 5 out of the 5 and 20, and take 9 out of the 9 and 18. That leaves 1/2 x 1/4, which equals 1/8. The original problem equals 45/360, which can be reduced to 1/8.
"Reduce to dust" = "turn into dust". (In practice, we often use "reduce A to B".)Example: "The demolition crew reduced the abandoned home to dust".In general, "reduce to" means "transform into", where this transformation is either(1) from something greater to lesser or(2) from one type of thing to a different type of thing.Example of (1): "Reduce this fraction to lowest terms".Example of (2): "Reduce geometry to category theory".Example of both (arguably): "Reduce human emotions to chemical imbalances".Note: "Reduce" is often used in place of "reduce to B". Pay attention to the context of the sentence to decide what "reduce to" means.
