Question

I need to simplify this complex fraction

Answer 1

I see two ways to do it.

First, you have to understand that when you see a 'complex fraction' like this, the top number is a numerator, and the two bottom numbers are both denominators.

Way-1:

Take the top fraction . . . 2/2 .  That's equal to 1 . So the whole thing is 1/3.

Way-2:

Multiply the bottom two denominators.  Then the whole thing is 2/(2·3) .  That's the same thing as  2/6 .  Simplify that, and you have 1/3 .
