Manipulate fractions in order to add and subtract them. The difficulty escalates through the inclusion of a whole integer and a decimal, which both need to be converted into a fraction before the addition/subtraction can take place.

\nTo add or subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator on both fractions.
\nTo get a common denominator, we need to find the lowest common multiple of the two denominators.
\nThe lowest common multiple of $\\var{b_coprime}$ and $\\var{d_coprime}$ is $\\var{lcm}.$
\nThis will be the new denominator, and we need to multiply each fraction individually to ensure we get this denominator.
\nFor $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{a_coprime}}{\\var{b_coprime}}$, we need to multiply the fraction by $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{lcm_b}}{\\var{lcm_b}}$ to give $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{alcm_b}}{\\var{lcm}}.$
\nFor $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{c_coprime}}{\\var{d_coprime}}$, we need to multiply the fraction by $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{lcm_d}}{\\var{lcm_d}}$ to give $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{clcm_d}}{\\var{lcm}}.$
\nNow that we have each fraction in terms of a common denominator, we can now add the fractions together.
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{alcm_b}}{\\var{lcm}}+\\frac{\\var{clcm_d}}{\\var{lcm}}=\\frac{(\\var{alcm_b}+\\var{clcm_d})}{\\var{lcm}}=\\frac{\\var{alcmclcm}}{\\var{lcm}}.$
\nFrom this, we can try to simplify the result down by finding the greatest common divisor of the numerator and denominator and dividing the whole fraction by this amount.
\nThe greatest common divisor of $\\var{alcmclcm}$ and $\\var{lcm}$ is $\\var{gcd}.$
\nSimplifying using this value gives a final answer of $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{num}}{\\var{denom}}.$
\nTherefore, the expression cannot be simplified further, and $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{num}}{\\var{denom}}$ is the final answer.
\n\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{f_coprime}}{\\var{g_coprime}}-\\frac{\\var{h_coprime}}{\\var{j_coprime}}+2.$
\n\nThe two fractions can be individually multiplied to achieve a common denominator of the lowest common multiple, $\\var{lcm2}.$
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{f_coprime}}{\\var{g_coprime}}$ becomes $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{flcm2_g}}{\\var{lcm2}}$ and $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{h_coprime}}{\\var{j_coprime}}$ becomes $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{hlcm2_j}}{\\var{lcm2}}.$
\nWe can now subtract the second fraction from the first.
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{flcm2_g}}{\\var{lcm2}}-\\frac{\\var{hlcm2_j}}{\\var{lcm2}}=\\frac{\\var{flcmhlcm}}{\\var{lcm2}}.$
\nFrom this, the question asks us to add $2$. We need to change the mixed number, $2$, into an improper fraction.
\n$\\displaystyle2=2\\bigg(\\frac{\\var{lcm2}}{\\var{lcm2}}\\bigg)=\\frac{\\var{twolcm2}}{\\var{lcm2}}.$
\nWe can now continue with the question.
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{flcmhlcm}}{\\var{lcm2}}+\\frac{\\var{twolcm2}}{\\var{lcm2}}=\\frac{\\var{num2unsim}}{\\var{lcm2}}.$
\nWe can look to simplify by dividing by the greatest common divisor of $\\var{num2unsim}$ and $\\var{lcm2}$ which is $\\var{gcd2}.$
\nSimplifying by this value gives the final answer $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{num2unsim}/{lcm2}}.$
\nTherefore, no further simplification is possible, and $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{num2unsim}/{lcm2}}$ is the final answer.
\n\n$\\displaystyle\\var{k}+\\frac{\\var{l_coprime}}{\\var{m_coprime}}-\\frac{\\var{n_coprime}}{\\var{o_coprime}}.$
\nWe need to convert the decimal into a fraction and to do this, we need to multiply it by $10$ for every decimal place.
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{k}}{1}\\times\\frac{100}{100}=\\frac{\\var{100k}}{100}.$
\nWe should look to simplify by dividing by the greatest common divisor which is $\\var{gcd_k100}.$
\nTherefore, it is not possible to simplify any further, and the fraction stays as
\nSimplifying by this value gives the fraction
\n\\[\\simplify{{{100k}}/{100}}\\text{.}\\]
\nThe original expression is now $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{k_simp}}{\\var{simp}}+\\frac{\\var{l_coprime}}{\\var{m_coprime}}-\\frac{\\var{n_coprime}}{\\var{o_coprime}}.$
\nWe can multiply each fraction individually to achieve the common denominator $\\var{gcd3}$.
\n\\[\\frac{\\var{k_simp}}{\\var{simp}}\\text{ becomes }\\frac{\\var{k_simp*term1}}{\\var{gcd3}}\\text{, }\\frac{\\var{l_coprime}}{\\var{m_coprime}}\\text{ becomes }\\frac{\\var{l_coprime*term2}}{\\var{gcd3}}\\text{ and }\\frac{\\var{n_coprime}}{\\var{o_coprime}}\\text{ becomes }\\frac{\\var{n_coprime*term3}}{\\var{gcd3}}\\text{.}\\]
\nWe can now complete the addition.
\n\\[\\frac{\\var{k_simp*term1}}{\\var{gcd3}}+\\frac{\\var{l_coprime*term2}}{\\var{gcd3}}-\\frac{\\var{n_coprime*term3}}{\\var{gcd3}}=\\frac{\\var{(k_simp*term1)+(l_coprime*term2)-(n_coprime*term3)}}{\\var{gcd3}}\\text{.}\\]
\nWe should look to simplify this fraction by dividing by the highest common divisor, $\\var{gcd_numgcd3}.$
\nSimplifying by this value gives the final answer
\nTherefore, it is not possible to simplify the fraction any further and the final answer is
\n\\[\\simplify{{num1}/{gcd3}}\\text{.}\\]

\nMultiply the numerators across both fractions.
\n$\\var{a_coprime}\\times\\var{b_coprime}=\\var{ab}$,
\nand then multiply the denominators across both fractions.
\n$\\var{c_coprime}\\times\\var{d_coprime}=\\var{cd}$.
\nThe values of the multiplied numerators and denominators will be the numerator and denominator of the new fraction: $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{ab}}{\\var{cd}}$.
\nThis answer may need simplifying down, and to do this, find the greatest common divisor in both the numerator and denominator and divide by this number.
\nThe greatest common divisor of $\\var{ab}$ and $\\var{cd}$ is $\\var{gcd}$.
\nBy using $\\var{gcd}$ to cancel down the fraction, the final answer is $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{ab}/{cd}}$.
\n\nTo multiply $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{k_coprime}/{j_coprime}}\\times\\var{f}\\frac{\\var{g_coprime}}{\\var{h_coprime}}$, we first need to change the mixed number term into an improper fraction.
\nTo do this, we need to multiply $(\\var{f}\\times\\var{h_coprime}=\\var{fh})$ and add it to what was already on the numerator of the fraction, $\\var{g_coprime}$.
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{(\\var{fh}+\\var{g_coprime})}{\\var{h_coprime}}= \\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{numif}}{\\var{h_coprime}}$.
\nNext, we multiply the numerators and denominators across both fractions separately, as done in part a).
\n$\\var{k_coprime}\\times\\var{numif} = \\var{num}$,
\n$\\var{j_coprime}\\times\\var{h_coprime}=\\var{denom}$.
\nThis gives the unsimplified version of the new fraction $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{num}}{\\var{denom}}$.
\nTo simplify, find the greatest common divisor in both the numerator and denominator and divide by this number.
\nThe greatest common divisor of $\\var{num}$ and $\\var{denom}$ is $\\var{gcdb}$.
\nBy using $\\var{gcdb}$ to cancel down the fraction, the final answer is $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{num}/{denom}}$.
\n\n\nTo square a fraction means to multiply the fraction by itself. To do this, multiply the numerators and denominators across individually.
\n$\\displaystyle\\bigg(\\frac{\\var{l_coprime}}{\\var{m_coprime}}\\bigg)^2=\\frac{\\var{l_coprime}}{\\var{m_coprime}}\\times\\frac{\\var{l_coprime}}{\\var{m_coprime}}=\\frac{\\var{l_coprime^2}}{\\var{m_coprime^2}}.$
\nFrom this, we should look if it is possible to simplify by finding the highest common divisor of $\\var{l_coprime^2}$ and $\\var{m_coprime^2}.$
\nThe greatest common divisor is $\\var{gcd_lcmc}$.
\nTherefore, it is not possible to simplify this further, and the final answer is
\nBy simplifying with this value, the final answer is
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{l_coprime2}}{\\var{m_coprime2}}$.
\n\nHelen was on holiday for $28$ days and spent $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{aa}}{7}$ of her time in Spain.

\nThe first thing to do is to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
\nAn improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator. To change a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply the integer part of the mixed number by the denominator, and add it to the existing numerator to make the new numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator will stay the same.
\n\\[ {\\var{f3}\\frac{\\var{g3_coprime}}{\\var{h3_coprime}}}\\equiv\\frac{(\\var{f3}\\times\\var{h3_coprime})+\\var{g3_coprime}}{\\var{h3_coprime}}=\\frac{\\var{f3h3}+\\var{g3_coprime}}{\\var{h3_coprime}}=\\frac{\\var{f3h3+g3_coprime}}{\\var{h3_coprime}} \\]
\n\\[ {\\var{f4}\\frac{\\var{g4_coprime}}{\\var{h4_coprime}}}\\equiv\\frac{(\\var{f4}\\times\\var{h4_coprime})+\\var{g4_coprime}}{\\var{h4_coprime}}=\\frac{\\var{f4h4}+\\var{g4_coprime}}{\\var{h4_coprime}}=\\frac{\\var{f4h4+g4_coprime}}{\\var{h4_coprime}} \\]
\nWe now have our mixed numbers as improper fractions.
\n\\[ \\frac{\\var{f3h3+g3_coprime}}{\\var{h3_coprime}}\\div\\frac{\\var{f4h4+g4_coprime}}{\\var{h4_coprime}} \\]
\nNow, use the same method as in parts a) and b) to divide by switching around one fraction and changing the division symbol to multiplication.
\n\\[ \\frac{\\var{f3h3+g3_coprime}}{\\var{h3_coprime}}\\div\\frac{\\var{f4h4+g4_coprime}}{\\var{h4_coprime}}\\equiv\\frac{\\var{f3h3+g3_coprime}}{\\var{h3_coprime}}\\times\\frac{\\var{h4_coprime}}{\\var{f4h4+g4_coprime}}=\\frac{\\var{num}}{\\var{denom}} \\]
\nFinally, the last thing to do is to simplify your answer down by finding the highest common divisor in the numerator and denominator, which in this case is $\\var{gcd3}$.
\nBy doing this, you will get a final answer of
\n\\[ \\simplify{{num}/{denom}} \\]
\n\\[ \\frac{\\var{a}}{(\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{b}-{c}/{d}})} \\]
\nConsider the denominator first, as following the rules of BODMAS, you should address brackets first.
\nYou need to get a common denominator for both terms on the denominator, like this:
\n\\[ \\var{b}\\times\\frac{\\var{d}}{\\var{d}} = \\frac{\\var{bd}}{\\var{d}} \\]
\nThis now allows you to complete the addition or subtraction as both terms have a common denominator.
\n\\[ {\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{bd}/{d}-{c}/{d}}} = \\frac{\\var{bd_c}}{\\var{d}} \\]
\nThis means that the expression is now:
\n\\[ \\frac{\\var{a}}{\\frac{\\var{bd_c}}{\\var{d}}} \\]
\nDealing with this requires a bit of manipulation. You have to change the divisor of the denominator to be a mulitplier of the numerator. The denominator, ${\\var{bd_c}}$ was being divided by ${\\var{d}}$ but by flipping it around, the numerator, ${\\var{a}}$ will be mulitplied by ${\\var{d}}$. The value of the expression remains the same.
\n\\[ \\frac{\\var{a}}{\\frac{\\var{bd_c}}{\\var{d}}}\\equiv \\frac{(\\var{a})\\times(\\var{d})}{\\var{bd_c}}= \\frac{\\var{ad}}{\\var{bd_c}} \\]
\nFrom this, you can try to cancel the expression down by finding the highest common factor of the numerator and denominator, to give a final answer of
\n\\[ \\simplify{{ad}/{bd_c}} \\]

\\var{f}\\times\\frac{\\var{f1000}}{\\var{f1000}}=\\frac{\\var{f2}}{\\var{f1000}}\\text{.}
\\]
From this, we can look to see if we can cancel down the fraction by finding the highest common divisor between the numerator and denominator. This is $\\var{mygcd}$.
\nTherefore, it is not possible to simplify the answer any further and the final answer is
\nSimplifying by this amount gives the final answer
\n\\[\\frac{\\var{f3}}{\\var{f4}}.\\]
\n$\\var{h}.\\dot{\\var{j}}\\dot{\\var{k}}.$
\nTo convert a recurring decimal to a fraction, the first step is to set up a simple equation where,
\n$x=\\var{h}.\\dot{\\var{j}}\\dot{\\var{k}}.$
\n
By multiplying both sides by $100$ to isolate the recurring section on the left hand side of the decimal point, we can gain another simple equation
$100x=\\var{h}\\var{j}\\var{k}.\\dot{\\var{j}}\\dot{\\var{k}}.$
\n\nNow that we have two equations in terms of $x$, we can subtract one from the other and solve to get a value of $x$.

\\begin{align}
&&\\var{h}\\var{j}\\var{k}.\\dot{\\var{j}}\\dot{\\var{k}}&=100x\\\\

&&{{\\var{h}}\\var{j}\\var{k-h}}&=99x\\\\
\\\\
&&\\frac{\\var{numerator}}{\\var{g}}&=x\\text{.}\\\\
\\end{align}
\\]
From this, we should look to see if it is possible to simplify by finding the greatest common divisor of the numerator and the denominator. The greatest common divisor is $\\var{gcd1 }.$
\nTherefore, it is not possible to simplify and so
\nSimplifying by this value gives the fraction $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{{numerator}}/{g}}$ and so
\n\\[
\\begin{align}
\\var{h}.\\dot{\\var{j}}\\dot{\\var{k}}=\\simplify{{{numerator}}/{g}}\\text{ in its fractional form.}\\\\

Fractions can be equivalently represented as decimals and vice versa. One form may be more useful in a context than another and it is useful to practise how to change between them.
