For addition and subtraction, write fractions so that they have a common denominator and then perform addition or subtraction on the numerators. One method of doing this is 'cross-multiplication'. The rules are :

\n

\\[\\simplify{a/b+ c/d=(a*d+b*c)/(b*d)}.\\]
\\[\\simplify{a/b- c/d=(a*d-b*c)/(b*d)}.\\]

\n

For multiplication and division the rules are simpler:

\n

\\[\\simplify{(a/b)} * \\simplify{(c/d)=(a*c)/(b*d)}.\\]
\\[\\simplify{(a/b)} / \\simplify{(c/d)}=\\simplify{(a*d)/(b*c)}.\\]

\n

Having applied these rules, it will be necessary to reduce the resulting fractions to lowest terms.
