What this means
To add fractions you combine them by operation: addition and subtraction need a common denominator (1/2 becomes 1/2 when scaled to 1), multiplication multiplies numerators and denominators directly, and division flips the second fraction and multiplies. Finally we simplify by dividing top and bottom by their greatest common divisor, so the answer is in its lowest terms.
