You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If a/b and c/d are fractions, write two other fractions equialent to these and having a common denominator. Use the letters a,b,c, and d in your answer.
:
The common denominator would have to be bd (multiple of both denominators)
:
ad%2Fbd and cb%2Fbd
:
To help you understand it: assign values like a=1,b=2,c=3,d=4
Then evaluate the original two equation. and evaluate the ones with a common denominator. You will see that they are equal.
