\(\frac{{{a^2}b}}{{a{b^2}}} = \frac{{a \times a \times b}}{{a \times b \times b}}\) Since a and b are both factors, cancel this fraction by dividing by both a and b ...

Adding and subtracting algebraic fractions is a similar process to adding and subtracting normal fractions. The denominators of each fraction are different, \(3t\) and \(7t\), so a common denominator ...

Use visual fraction models to add and subtract fractions with the same denominators. Use visual fraction models to add and subtract fractions with the same denominators. Notice patterns in the ...

Fractions, often perceived as daunting, become manageable with the right approach. Addition and subtraction require finding a common denominator, while multiplication involves directly multiplying ...

Fractions are the basis for most higher-level mathematics. Students need to master the numerical values in earlier grades to tackle topics like algebra later. There’s only one hitch: Fractions can ...

Over the past year, since I took over the common-core math beat, I’ve been thinking a lot about fractions. As I wrote in November, the Common Core State Standards for mathematics emphasize fractions ...
