    "Simplifying a complex fraction" means Simplifying a complex fraction means to rewrite the fractions in the numerator and in the denominator with common denominators.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A complex fraction is one where either the numerator or the denominator or both contains common a fraction.

    There are two methods to simplify a complex fraction-

    First Method

    We simplify the numerator until we have one single fraction. Then we simplify the denominator until we have one single fraction. then we divide by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. The end result is simplified

    Second Method

    Firstly we find a common denominator of all the fractions in the numerator and all the fractions in the denominator. Then we multiply the number in the numerator and denominator of the complex fraction by a common denominator found in step 1. The result is simplified
