Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Remember that complex fractions are fractions where either the numerator, denominator, or both contain a fraction

  2. Step 2

    The first step is to get rid of the fraction in the numerator or denominator by finding a common denominator for the numerator or the denominator

  3. Step 3

    Simplify the numerator or denominator by adding or subtracting. Now you should have a fraction in the numerator, denominator, or both.

  4. Step 4

    Remember that when you divide by fractions, you multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Then simplify and solve the problem
