what is a-b/ab +b-c/ bc + c-a/ac ?

Well, looking at the first term we have: \[\frac{a-b}{ab} = \frac{a}{ab}-\frac{b}{ab} = \frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{a}\] seeing that we can do this to every term, the summation becomes: \[\frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{c}-\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{c}\] in which everything will cancel out, and the answer is 0.
