The easiest way to simplify complex fractions is to first express (if possible) the numerator and the denominator as fractions.
For example,
26−112.
Now, we can rewrite the fractions side-by-side and simplify using division:
12÷26−1=12×52=54.
Simplify
32+134.
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 3, which is the common denominator of 34 and 32, we have
32+134=3⋅32+3⋅13⋅34=2+34=54. □
