Answer:

Simplify

Explanation:

I'm not sure what the question is referring to but if it's an improper fraction you Simplify.

Let's take 9/3 you divide 9 and 3 and the fraction will be a whole number.

but if it's like 14/3 were counting in 3's like 3, 6, 9, 12, 15... 14 does not line up.

How many 3's fit into 14?

4 threes. So the fraction will now be 4 2/3.

To get the improper fraction again multiply the whole number and the bottom number of the fraction.

4 x 3 = 12.

Add the remaining number which is 2.

12 + 2 = 14.

Sorry if this isn't what you meant.
