No, 3 1/5 is the smallest you can go. However, the mixed number for 3 1/5 is 16/5.
You reduce them. That means make them smaller. So if you had the fraction 3/6, three could go into six two times and three can go into three one time. So you make the three a one and make the six a three. Get it now? I hope so.

You can make a fraction that is bigger, or smaller, than a mixed number.
Simplest form of a fraction, is the smallest fraction you can make. Say you have the fraction 25/50 you can make that 5/20 then 1/4. The simplest form is 1/4. You CAN NOT make 1/4 a smaller fraction.
9 and 3 make 12, which is an integer, not a fraction.
550/3000 = .18333... if we were to try to make this into a simpler kind of fraction, we could say that it is about halfway between a fifth and a sixth.
There are a couple rules to abide by when reducing fraction in math. To make an even fraction, one has to make sure that the smaller number is on top. To make an improper fraction, put the bigger number on top.
39/50 is the simplest form of the fraction. There is no number that you can divide both 39 and 50 by to make them smaller and make the fraction simpler.
1 fifth and 2 fifths
No. A number multiplied by a fraction yields a smaller number
