    Algebraic fractions
    ⫸ Algebraic fractions are fractions that contain pronumerals
    ⫸ We treat them the exact same as normal fractions, with an
    emphasis on factoring
    ⫸ The Golden Rule when working with fractions is to multiply
    or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same
    number/expression
    Simplifying fractions
    ⫸ Look for any common expressions that can be factorised and then cancel
    Example 1. Simplify:
    a.) b.) c.)
    Adding & Subtracting Fractions
    ⫸ Change the fractions to equivalent fractions to the same denominator!
    Example 2. Simplify:
    a.) b.) c.)
    Example 3. Factor the denominators, and then simplify:
    Multiplying & Dividing Algebraic Fractions
    ⫸ Factor the numerator and denominators fully
    ⫸ Cancel out any common factors/expressions
    ⫸ We can only cancel up/down or diagonally!
    ⫸ Then multiply the numerators & denominators
    ⫸ When dividing algebraic fractions, simply flip the second fraction
    and the division symbol () becomes a multiplication symbol ()
    Example 4. Simplify:

    a.) b.)
    ⫸ A compound fraction contains fractions in the numerator or denominator
    Compound fractions

    ⫸ To simplify, find the lowest common multiple of ALL the denominators and multiply to
    turn all our fractions into non-fractions

    Example 5. Simplify:
    a.) b.)
    Please complete:
    Ex 1:15
     Even numbers only
    Ex 1:16
    Q 1 – 4 second
    column
    Q 5 all
