#31/6#

Explanation:

I think you meant simplify because there is nothing to evaluate here. We can simplify #62/12# by dividing it by the largest number that evenly divides the numerator and denominator.

In this example, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by #2#

#:.(62divide2)/(12divide2)=31/6#

We can't simplify #31/6# any farther so this is its simplest form.
