To add two fractions, you must first convert them to a common denominator, which is the Least Common Multiple of the denominators of the two fractions you're adding. For example, to add 5/6 and 1/8, you convert them to the common denominator LCM(6,8)=24. Then 5/6=20/24 and 1/8=3/24 so the sum is 23/24.
To multiply two fractions, you multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. Thus, 5/6 * 1/8 = (5*1)/(6*8) = 5/48.
If both fractions are between 0 and 1, then the sum will always be greater than the product.

How can you tell a fraction is greater than another?
Two ways: If they're unlike fractions, convert them to like fractions with a common denominator and compare numerators. Convert them to decimals by dividing their denominators into their numerators and see which is greater.
How do you put different fractions in increasing order?
Option 1: Find a common denominator for the two fractions. It need not be the least common denominator; for example, for two fractions, if you just multiply the two denominators, you get a common denominator. Convert all the fractions to the common denominator. Then you can compare. Option 2: Convert each fraction to decimal, by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Then you can compare the decimals.
