Simplification steps for 34/3

$$\frac{34}{3} = \frac{33 + 1}{3} = 
\frac{33}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = 11 + \frac{1}{3}$$

anonymous · Answer

all right thank you i think i got it now

hero · Answer

It is important to understand the difference between how to simplify a proper fraction and how to simplify an improper fraction.

anonymous · Answer

yeah I'm stuck on trying to to figure out how to reduce a improper fraction, and adding or subtracting fractions.

hero · Answer

Suppose you had to simplify 

$$\frac{34}{13}$$

How do you think it should be done?

anonymous · Answer

well i would see how many times can 13 go into 34 and it will only go 2 times so i would put 2 8/13

hero · Answer

Yes, and to demonstrate this, you could proceed as follows:

$$\frac{34}{13} = \frac{26 + 8}{13} = \frac{26}{13} + \frac{8}{13} = 2 \frac{8}{13}$$

oh okay got it sorry not trying to bug but can you please help me on trying to understand how to add, subtract, divide, & multiply fractions for example.

5   7/8 +  2 3/4=        3  2/9 - 8/11=        2/7 x 15=     2   6/7 %  4  2/3=   

(if you can't its fine sorry this is too much)

hero · Answer

Well, to be honest, I don't think you will understand it all in one gulp. I believe the best thing for you in this case is to consult khan academy videos.
