1. Reduce the Fractions

   1. {{f1.numerator}}/{{f1.denominator}} is already reduced. The first fraction {{f1.numerator}}/{{f1.denominator}} becomes {{f1.rNumerator}}/{{f1.rDenominator}}.
   2. {{f2.numerator}}/{{f2.denominator}} is already reduced. The second fraction {{f2.numerator}}/{{f2.denominator}} becomes {{f2.rNumerator}}/{{f2.rDenominator}}.

2. Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM)

   The denominators are the same, the LCM is {{f1.rDenominator}}

   The LCM for the denominators {{f1.rDenominator}} and {{f2.rDenominator}} is {{lcd}}.

3. Multiply by 1

   Multiply each fraction by 1, where 1 is expressed as a fraction.

   The denominators are the same, nothing to do here.

   1. One for the first fraction is {{f1.multiplier}}/{{f1.multiplier}}. {{f1.rNumerator}}/{{f1.rDenominator}} times {{f1.multiplier}}/{{f1.multiplier}} equals {{f1.nNumerator}}/{{f1.nDenominator}}.
   2. One for the second fraction is {{f2.multiplier}}/{{f2.multiplier}}. {{f2.rNumerator}}/{{f2.rDenominator}} times {{f2.multiplier}}/{{f2.multiplier}} equals {{f2.nNumerator}}/{{f2.nDenominator}}.
4. {{selectedOp.op}}

   The sum of {{f1.nNumerator}}/{{f1.nDenominator}} and {{f2.nNumerator}}/{{f2.nDenominator}} is {{answer.numerator}}/{{answer.denominator}}.

   The difference of {{f1.nNumerator}}/{{f1.nDenominator}} and {{f2.nNumerator}}/{{f2.nDenominator}} is {{answer.numerator}}/{{answer.denominator}}.

   The product of {{f1.rNumerator}}/{{f1.rDenominator}} and {{f2.rNumerator}}/{{f2.rDenominator}} is {{answer.numerator}}/{{answer.denominator}}

   The quotient of {{f1.rNumerator}}/{{f1.rDenominator}} and {{f2.rNumerator}}/{{f2.rDenominator}} is {{answer.numerator}}/{{answer.denominator}}

Stop! The answer you have from the previous step is correct!
 
Only continue to the next steps if the instructions explicitly ask you to.

5. Reduce Your Answer

   {{answer.numerator}}/{{answer.denominator}} is already reduced.

   The answer {{answer.numerator}}/{{answer.denominator}} is correct and acceptable but be nice and reduce it.
    
   {{answer.numerator}}/{{answer.denominator}} becomes {{answer.rNumerator}}/{{answer.rDenominator}}.

6. Improper Fraction?

   The reduced answer {{answer.rNumerator}}/{{answer.rDenominator}} is not an improper fraction.

   The reduced answer {{answer.rNumerator}}/{{answer.rDenominator}} is correct and acceptable but people prefer to see a whole number.
    
   {{answer.rNumerator}}/{{answer.rDenominator}} becomes {{display.whole}}.

   The reduced answer {{answer.rNumerator}}/{{answer.rDenominator}} is correct and acceptable but people prefer to see a mixed number.
    
   {{answer.rNumerator}}/{{answer.rDenominator}} becomes {{display.whole}} {{display.numerator}}/{{display.denominator}}.
