Answer:
1 4/7
Find a number that will divide evenly into both the top number and the bottom number. (You can do any math operation to either number as long as you do the same to the bottom number.)
Keep doing that until you can't find a number that works.
In this case try 5.
55 ÷ 5 = 11 and 35 ÷ 5 = 7
so: 55/35 = 11/7
since the top number is greater than the bottom, reduce 11/7 to 1 4/7

See how many times the denominator (bottom # of fraction) can go into the numerator (bottom number of fraction).
If i DOES NOT go in evenly then you will get an answer with a mixed fraction. How many times the denominator goes into the numerator is the whole number in the answer, then the remainder is the new numerator and you keep the same denominator.
