How do you solve fraction and reduce them?
Well...this is little hard to explain... supposedly we have 2%2F4. You can see right away that it can be reduced to 1%2F2 right? So basically, when both numerator (top part of fraction) and denominator (bottom part of fraction) can be divided by the SAME number (Such as 2%2F4 can be divided by 2 on both sides), then the fraction can be reduced. To solve fraction...well that always depends.
