The expression given by jiderly is not an equation.

Can you give an example what kind of "equation with fractions" you are required to solve?

unklerhaukus · Answer

$$\frac ab+\frac cd=\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$$

$$\frac ab\times \frac cd=\frac{ac}{bd}$$

anonymous · Answer

if it is $$5+\frac{ 9 }{ 13 }$$, then think of 5 as $$\frac{ 5 }{ 1 }$$. You need to make both numbers have the same denominator, the bottom number, so what can you multiply 1 by to get 13? 

That's right! 13. Whatever you do to the bottom, you must also do to the top (numerator), so you have to multiply 5 by 13 as well. 

$$\frac{ 5*13 }{ 1*13 }=\frac{ 65 }{ 13 }$$

So you now have the equation: 

$$\frac{ 65 }{ 13 }+\frac{ 9 }{ 13 }$$

Simply add the numerators (top numbers) together. But keep the denominators (bottom numbers) the same. 

And your answer is: 

$$\frac{ 74 }{ 13 }$$

That is how you add fractions. If you were supposed to multiply fractions, there is a shortcut for it, but I'll just give you the basics. Multiply the two top numbers, then the two bottom numbers, then reduce/simplify your answer.
