1) find the common denominators in the bottom and top fractions. 2) you will get (in terms of variables) \[~~~ \frac{a}{b}~~~\over~~~ \frac{x}{y}~~~\]which is same as \[\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{x}{y}~~~~~->~~~~~~~~~\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{y}{x}~~~~~->~~~~\frac{a \times y}{b \times x}\] 3) see? solve your's.
