NO.
Here is an counterexample.
1 2 = 1 + 2 3 + 3
Obviously 1 1 + 2 = 3, 2 3 + 3 = 6

There are plenty of easy counterexamples, of course. 1 1 = 2 + 3 2 + 3 , but 2 + 3 1. But what you suggest is true if both fractions are in reduced form - that is, if a and b are relatively prime and c + d and e + f are relatively prime.
