The bottom names the pieces — it does not change.Different: 1/2 + 1/3 → 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6Find a common denominator first — the smallest number both bottoms divide into.MULTIPLY — straight across2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15tops × tops, bottoms × bottoms"Of" means multiply: half of 1/3 is 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6.Multiplying by a fraction less than 1 makes the answer smaller.DIVIDE — keep, change, flip3/4 ÷ 2/5 = 3/4 × 5/2 = 15/8 = 1 ⅞Keep the first fraction. Change ÷ to ×.
