This question asks for a fraction, a reduced fraction, and a mixed number.

Enter fractions like 2/3 for $\displaystyle \frac{{2}}{{3}}$. For this type, the fraction does not need to be reduced, so $\displaystyle \frac{{2}}{{4}}$ is considered the same as $\displaystyle \frac{{1}}{{2}}$.

For a reduced fraction answer, be sure to reduce your fraction to lowest terms. If $\displaystyle \frac{{1}}{{2}}$ is the correct answer, $\displaystyle \frac{{2}}{{4}}$ is not reduced, and would be marked wrong.

For both fraction and reduced fraction type problems, improper fractions are OK, like $\displaystyle \frac{{10}}{{3}}$, but mixed numbers will not be accepted.

For a mixed number problem, enter your answer like 5 1/3 for $\displaystyle {5}\frac{{1}}{{3}}$. Improper fractions will not be accepted. Also, be sure to reduce the fractional portion of the mixed number to lowest terms.
