Do you mean a fraction divided by a fraction? Do you mean this:
+%282%2F%282%2B1%29%29+%2F%28%281%2B1%29%2F2%29???

If that's what you mean, then writing the problem down is the hardest part of it! Just do the additions:
%282%2F3%29%2F%282%2F2%29+

If you are intimidated by this, it might help to "unstack" the problem by changing it to a division problem:
2%2F3%29 divided by %282%2F2%29+
%282%2F3%29+divided by 1

Any number divided by 1 is that same number, so the final answer is 2%2F3.
