Answer:

See explaination for answer! Hope this helps!

Explanation:

When multiplying and deviding, you are raising them or lowering them by a certain degree, but adding or subtractions is just combining two fractions.

Just to quickly explain the "combining" aspect, during subraction, you are combining a positive with a negative.
