Answer 1

14 13/15

Keep the 14, simplify 52/60 which turns into 13/15

Answer 2

Remember that mixed fractions are equivalent to the sum of the whole number and the fraction. Thus, we can start by simplifying the mixed fraction like so:

$14 \dfrac{52}{60} = 14 + \dfrac{52}{60} = \dfrac{892}{60} Now, realize that both 892 and 60 have a common factor of 4, which means that we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4. This gives us:[tex]\dfrac{892 \div 4 }{60 \div 4} = \dfrac{223}{15}$

Thus, 14 52/60 simplifies to 223/15.
