Answer 2

\[5\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }= \frac{ 5 }{ 1 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

\[\frac{ a }{ b} + \frac{ c }{ d }=\frac{ (a \times d) + (c \times b) }{ b \times d }\]

\[\frac{ a }{ b } \div \frac{ c }{ d } = \frac{ a }{ b } \times \frac{ d }{ c }\]
\[\frac{ a }{ b} \times \frac{ c }{ d} = \frac{ a \times d }{ b \times c}\]

Answer 3

use this sort of logic for your question

Answer 4

then to simplify, let's say we are simplifying
\[\frac{ 4 }{ 6 }\]

you look for the factors of each number, 4 and 6

so the factors of 4

1,2,4

factors of 6
1,2,3,6

you look for the highest factor they have in common, which is 2

so you divide 4 by 2 and divide 6 by 2 to get
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\]
