6d)++Simplifying+complex+fractions

Simplifying Complex Fractions is when there is one fraction inside of another. This means that you can’t simplify as easily as a regular fraction. In order to simplify this type of fraction, you must use fraction rules that we learned from earlier in the year. The easiest way is to find the //LCD// (**L**east **C**ommon **D**enominator). Finding the LCD is an important part of this unit, so hopefully you are familiar with this. Once you have used all of the fractions rules that can be used, you simplify the rest until it cannot be anymore simple.
