Why was the fraction worried about the exam?
It was afraid of being reduced!
Why This Joke Works
"Reduced" means simplifying a fraction to its lowest terms — a standard exam operation — but it also means being diminished, cut down, or made smaller in a more general sense. The fraction's exam anxiety is mathematically accurate.
