Turn the second fraction upsidedown, then multiply by the result.
\nSo you'll have to do $\\frac {\\var{num1simp }} {\\var{denom1simp}} × \\frac {\\var{denom2simp }} {\\var{num2simp}} $
\nThe top (or numerator) of the product = {num1simp} × {denom2simp} = ?
\nThe bottom (or denominator) of the product = {denom1simp} × {num2simp} = ?
\nRemember to cancel the result if you can.
