Take the number on top and divide it by the number on the bottom (getting the answers in x remainder y form.) The first part of the answer goes in front, and the remainder goes in the new fraction. The bottom of the fraction stays the same. Here is an example:
25/4
how many 4's go into 25, 6 4's go into 25 remeinder 1
so the answer is
6 1/4
that was easy phew!

Divide the numerator by the denominator. Put the remainder on top of the denominator. Example:17/7, 17 divided by 7 = 2 remainder 3, so the result is 2 3/7.

Change each mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Do this by multiplying the denominator by the whole number next to the fraction and then adding the numerator to the product you get. Once you do this, multiply fractions normally.
