Simplify them.
Find a common denominator, add the numerators, simplify if possible.
if youre dealing with fractions then you multiply top by top and bottom by bottom then simplify
This has the effect of producing a denominator in the answer that has each of the original denominators as factors. You don't have to worry about simplifying the fractions before multiplying. Of course, you may have to simplify after multiplying. There's no way out.
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
