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.

Evaluate the following addition, giving the fraction in its simplest form.

\\[\\frac{\\var{a}}{y^\\var{n2}}\\times\\frac{y^\\var{n1}}{\\var{b}}\\]

", "advice": "

To multiply two fractions you just mulitply the numerators and multiply the denominators. This means we have,

\\[\\frac{\\var{a}}{y^\\var{n2}}\\times\\frac{y^\\var{n1}}{\\var{b}}=\\frac{\\var{a}\\times{y^\\var{n1}}}{y^\\var{n2}\\times\\var{b}}=\\frac{\\var{a/gcd_ab}\\times{y^\\var{n1-n2}}}{\\var{b/gcd_ab}}\\]
