Answer: This is evaluataion, To evaluate an algebraic expression means to find the value of the expression when the variable is replaced by a given number.

Step-by-step explanation: In this situation you are going to divide the numerator and denominator by 2. For example 2/8 makes 1/4. 1/4 is equivalent to 2/8 but not fully simplified.

Another way to solve this is to reduce to lowest terms. For example, 5/15 is reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 1/3.

Divide the numerator and denominator to get a decimal form of the fraction or divide 5+2 by 3+6
