Answer:

i know the simplified : 1 28/99 but i can give you some directions for mixed numbers.

Explanation:

mixed number:

Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), gcf (gcd).

Integer numbers prime factorization:

127 is a prime number, it cannot be prime factorized into other prime factors;

99 = 32 × 11;

Take all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents.

But the two numbers have no common prime factors.

gcf, gcd (127; 99) = 1;

coprime numbers (relatively prime);

simplified:

Multiply the denominator by the whole number

9 × 3 = 27

Add the answer from Step 1 to the numerator (the top number in the fraction)

27 + 5 = 32

Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator

329

As an alternative, once you get comfortable with the steps, you can simplify the process and do all 3 steps at once:

359=9×3+59=329
