Ah, thank you. your question truly made the most of sense.
The fraction is already in simplest form!:)
To solve problems like this, we must simply break it down and read each part carefully. We can also set it up as a math problem to make it easier to visualize.
The elevator starts on the twentieth floor, so we will represent that with 20.
20
It goes down 11 floors, so we can represent that with a -11.
20-11=9
Now we are on floor 9. Then, we go up 5 floors, so we can represent that with a 5.
9+5=14
Using the math above, we can see the elevator is on the 14th floor.
