Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

3/2(c+d)

Practice makes perfect
A complex fraction is a rational expression that has at least one fraction in its numerator, denominator, or both. We want to simplify the given complex fraction. 3c+d/2

To do so, we will multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. 3c+d/2 ⇔ 3/c+d * 1/2 We can simplify this expression. 3/c+d*1/2 ⇔ 3/2(c+d)
