Answer:

\dfrac{ad+bc}{bd}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \frac{a}{b} and \frac{c}{d} be two rational numbers, where b and d are not zero and a, b, c and d are integers.

1. Given:

\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{c}{d}

2. Multiply to get a common denominator :

\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad}{bd}+\dfrac{cb}{db}

3. Simplify:

\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad}{bd}+\dfrac{cb}{db}=\dfrac{ad+bc}{bd}

4. Since b\neq 0,\ d\neq 0, then bd\neq 0.

If a,b,c,d are integers, then bd, ad,bc, ad+bc are integers too. So the fraction

\dfrac{ad+bc}{bd}

is a rational number
