Multiplying rational expressions is basically two simplifying problems put together.
When multiplying rationals, factor both numerators and denominators and identify equivalents of one to cancel.
Dividing rational expressions is the same as multiplying with one additional step: we take the reciprocal of the second fraction and change the division to multiplication. How to multiply and divide rational expressions. Examples on how to multiply rational expressions when the numerators and denominators are monomials.

Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions
Adding and subtracting rational expressions is similar to adding fractions. When adding and subtracting rational expressions, we find a common denominator and then add the numerators. To find a common denominator, factor each first. This strategy is especially important when the denominators are trinomials. How to add and subtract rational expression with and without like denominators. Examples of how to add and subtraction rational expressions with the the same denominators. Examples of how to add and subtraction rational expressions when the denominators are different. Examples of how to add and subtraction rational expressions when the denominators are different.
