Simplifying fractions?

Posted on 2015-08-19 05:59:00 in Math by DANIEL

When simplifying fractions with whole numbers, eg, 1 10/18, what do you do with the whole number. I know that 10/18 can be simplified to 5/9, but what about the whole 1.

In another equation, the answer I got was 2 28/30, and the answer I was supposed to havewas 2 14/15. I can see that they simplified 28/30, but why didn t the whole number 2 change?
