The question involves fractions, so make sure that your answer is in mixed fraction form. Examples of mixed numbers are, 1
\frac {1}{4}, 2
(3)/(4), et cetera. In its lowest form means that the fraction should be reduced to the point where it can no longer be reduced. For example,

2
(15)/(20) is not in its lowest form. 2
(3)/(4) would be its lowest form (I divided both the numerator and denominator by 5).

Hope this helps.
