How to simplify a complex fraction: Method 1 Multiply both the numerator of the complex fraction and the denominator of the
complex fraction by the LCD
How to simplify a complex fraction: Method 2 Write the numerator of the complex fraction as a single fraction, do the same to
the denominator, then divide
How to simplify a complex fraction: Method 3 After doing method 2, (a/b)/(c/d) = ad/bc
