Addition & Subtraction:

To add or subtract, you first need a common denominator. Multiply the numerators and denominators cross-wise:
(a/b) ± (c/d) = (a*d ± c*b) / (b*d)

Multiplication:

Multiply the top numbers together, and multiply the bottom numbers together:
(a/b) * (c/d) = (a*c) / (b*d)

Division:

Flip the second fraction (find its reciprocal) and multiply:
(a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a/b) * (d/c) = (a*d) / (b*c)
