An algebraic way of turning a mixed number into a fraction is (as described in your question): a b/c = (ac + b)/c
This works because ac/c = a (the c will cancel itself out.) just like how 50/50 = 1, and (5*15)/5 = 15. You're basically multiplying a by c/c, which is 1.
When you add fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators together.
Thus, a b/c = ac/c + b/c = (ac + b)/c

What kind of number will you get if you multiply the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number?
You will get an equivalent fraction. However, if the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by zero, the result is not defined.
When multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number you get?
You get the square of the the number.
