Answer: Simplifying! Through reduction, and converting fractions into complex numbers

Step-by-step explanation: With a fraction of 25/5, you can reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by a factor of 5, simplifying it to 1/5, which is equivalent to 25/5.

With a fraction of 3/2 you can simplify it by converting it into a complex number. 3/2 can be converted into 1 and 1/2, because 3/2 or 3 divided by 2, is equal to 1.5, or 1 and 1/2.
