The way to do mixed numbers is simple.
How many times does 1,000 go into 2,725 without going over?
2 times (b/c 2 x 1,000 = 2,000) - and 3 x's would be too many b/c 3 x 1,000 = 3,000 (which is above 2,725.)
So 2 is the big number you put to the left of the fraction.
As for the fraction, you already have 2 x 1,000 (that is what the big 2 stands for) and now how many do you have left over? All you do is 2,725 - 2,000 = 725.
725/1,000 is what goes on the right hand side of the big 2 in fraction form.
To reduce, you just divide both numbers by the same number, until you can't divide any more. Start with an easy big number, like 25.
Divide 725 by 25 and you get 29. Divide 1,000 by 25 and you get 40. The number 29 is a prime number, so you can't divide further.
The simplest form of 2,725/1,000 is 2 and 29/40.
I hope that helped! :)
