Is the operation used to solve an addition fraction problem (such as 3/4 + 5/6) the same as division and subraction as well as multiplication? If not, please explain the way to solve these other fraction operations.

Question

anonymous · Answer

for addition and subtraction YOU MUST have the same denominator in each fraction.  But for multiplication and division you do not need the same denominator.

anonymous · Answer

I think she means do you do them the same way as was explained in the other question.
