Simplifying a fraction like 68/12? This is more of a logic problem than just typical math, as there isnt just a brain dead process to get the right answer, you have to actually think:
-What is the largest multiple of 12 that is less than 68?
Then
-What is the largest number that goes into both the numerator and denominator in order to simplify?

My advice would be to just practice. Get a list of 100 different improper fractions and go through them. Also dont check if you got the right answer after every problem. Do like 10 in a row, and then check your answers.

That is a good idea, but nearly impossible while I'm juggling between two classes. It already takes me a few hours a day just to stay caught up on my math class, and that has significantly less problems than 100. Not to mention, if I study for any longer than like, 2 and a half hours on the same thing (math in this case), my brain starts to fog and I have to take a break for a few hours.
