Question

What is 13 12/11 in simplest form

Answer 1

Your fraction is:

`13 (12)/(11)`

The whole number is 13. In the fraction, the numerator(top number) is 12 and the denominator(bottom number) is 11. When the numerator is greater than the denominator, it is called an improper fraction.

• To simplify it, subtract the denominator from the numerator and leave the remainder as the numerator and keep the denominator. Then add 1 to the whole number.

First subtract:

`(12)/(11) - (11)/(0) = (1)/(11)`

Your new fraction is
`(1)/(11)`

Now add 1 to the whole number:

`13 + 1 = 14`

Add them together:

`14 + (1)/(11) = 14 (1)/(11)`

`13 (12)/(11)` in simplest form is
`\bf 14 (1)/(11)`
