    Chapter 1.

    Fraction Operations Focus on UNDERSTANDING, not MEMORIZING

    Chapter 1
    Fraction Operations
    1) Fraction Combination
    Rule: Find common denominator or multiply the bottoms to each other

    Examples
    𝟏 𝟏
    +
    𝟐 𝟒

    3 2
    − =
    𝑥+3 𝑥

    Practice
    𝟏 𝟐
    +
    𝟒 𝟑

    𝟑 𝟐
    +
    (𝒚 − 𝟏) (𝒚 + 𝟐)

    𝟒 𝟏
    +
    𝒚+𝟔 𝒚
    Chapter 1. Fraction Operations Focus on UNDERSTANDING, not MEMORIZING

    2) Splitting Fraction
    Rule: You can separate the top, but not bottom

    Examples
    𝟑𝟎 + 𝒄
    𝟔

    𝟔
    𝟑𝟎 + 𝒄

    Practice
    𝟒𝒙 + 𝟖𝒙𝒚
    𝟐𝒙
    𝟔𝒙 + 𝟕𝒚
    𝒙

    𝟗𝒙 + 𝟏𝟖𝒙𝒚
    𝟔𝒙𝒚
    𝟏𝟐𝒙𝒛 + 𝟔𝒚
    𝟑𝒙

    3) Simplifying Fraction
    Rule: In order to simplify a fraction, EVERY SINGLE TERM must have something in common.

    Example
    !"#$ &"#'("
    %" $"

    Practice : Simplify if possible.

    7𝑥𝑦 + 14𝑥 14𝑎! 𝑏 + 7𝑏 !


    7𝑥𝑦 7𝑎𝑏

    25𝑦 − 5𝑥𝑦 " 4𝑥 + 3



    5𝑥𝑦 2

    4) Dividing Fractions
    Rule: Solve it out horizontally

    Examples
    𝒂"𝟐
    𝟑
    𝟒

    𝟐
    𝟓 𝟔
    #
    𝒙 𝟐𝒙

    𝟑 𝟐
    #
    𝒙 𝟐𝒙
    𝟑
    𝟐
    Chapter 1. Fraction Operations Focus on UNDERSTANDING, not MEMORIZING

    Practice
    𝒙
    𝟏 𝟏
    𝒙−𝟏 𝒙+𝟏+

    𝟑
    𝒙+𝟏 𝒙+𝟐
    𝟑 + 𝟔

    𝟐𝒙
    𝟒 𝟐
    −
    𝒙+𝟐 𝒙+𝟑
    Chapter 1. Fraction Operations Focus on UNDERSTANDING, not MEMORIZING

    5) Fraction = Fraction è Cross multiply

    Example
    Find x
    𝟒 𝟏𝟎
    𝒙=
    𝟓 𝟑

    Practice: Find x
    𝟓 𝟔 𝟏𝟓𝒙
    𝟐
    𝒙 =𝟓 𝟐
    =𝟑

    𝟓 𝟐 𝟓 𝟑
    = − =𝟎
    𝟑𝒙 𝟏𝟎 𝒙(𝟐 𝒙)𝟐

    6) Fraction Flipping
    Rule: when a single term (Fraction) = single term (Fraction) è You can flip, or take a reciprocal of, both sides
    - Multiple terms = can’t flip

    # ! #
    !
    =" !
    +3=𝑥

    Example
    ! # $ % !
    If " = $ , then what is # ? If " = 𝑏, then what’s the value of $ ?

    Practice
    %() $ # !% & "
    If = # , then what’s the value of $ ? If "
    = ' , then what’s the value of &% ?
    &

    & ) % ! ) ! )
    If " + ! = !, what’s the value of % ? If ! + " = 𝑥 , what’s the value of % ?
