What are the rules for splitting up fractions into parts?

OpenStudy (konradzuse):

I just wanted to bone up on fraction rules....

OpenStudy (eyust707):

okay sweet!

OpenStudy (eyust707):

I love helping people that just want to learn!

OpenStudy (konradzuse):

\[\frac{a+b}{cd} = \frac{a}{cd} + \frac{b}{cd} ?\]

OpenStudy (konradzuse):

:)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

yes!

OpenStudy (eyust707):

that is correct

OpenStudy (konradzuse):

now the same goes for

OpenStudy (konradzuse):

\[\frac{1}{cd} = \frac{1}{c} - \frac{1}{d} ?\]

OpenStudy (konradzuse):

or any #?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

no

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\[{1 \over c} - {1 \over d} = {d - c \over cd} \]

OpenStudy (eyust707):

you have to make a common denominator

OpenStudy (konradzuse):

hmm that one is interesting....
