Here's how I like to think about it (not a proof just a cool intuition):

Suppose you have a line in the xy plane which intersects the origin. Now suppose that the point (b, a) is located on the line - this means that the slope of the line is a/b (rise/run).

Now, if you move from point (b, a) to a new point (b + d, a + c), we know that this new point must lie on the original line since c/d = a/b (for every d units moved right, we moved c units up, thus obeying the slope of the line).

Therefore, since the new point (b + d, a + c) lies on the same original line, the slope of the line, a/b, is also equal to (a + c)/(b + d). The process can be repeated (moving from (b + d, a + c) to (b + d + f + ..., a + c + e + ...)) and as long as the slope of each of those "steps" is equal to the original slope (a/b = c/d = e/f), each consecutive point will lie on the original line and therefore (a + c + e + ...)/(b + d + f + ...) will be equal to the original slope a/b.

Please sir can you make a video about all the math lessons in order for the university because most of us are lost where to star after high school

Could guess that it's from Hall and Knight. A similar problem was shown a few days back.
Thank you 🙏

Hi math sorcerer! here is my solution
step 1 - factor a/b from the fraction: (I will do this for numerator and denominator separately)
numerator: a+c+e+... -> a(1 + c/a + e/a +...)
denominator: b+d+f+... -> b(1 + d/b + f/b +...)
step 2: with simple manipulations of the ratios you see that d/b=c/a, that f/b=e/a and this extends to all the other ratios

step 3: notice that (1 + c/a + e/a +...)=(1 + d/b + f/b +...) so dividing them equals 1, leaving only the a/b

It's a feedback, where you go in reverse
