Algebraic Fractions Examples (5.2, Syl MA5.2-6NA)

Algebraic Fractions Examples (5.2)


Firstly let's make the note that $a$ is the same thing as $1a$ and also $$\frac{a}{3}=\frac{1a}{3}$$

Example:

Add & Subtract algebraic fractions  =======

(1)    $${2a\over 7}+{3a\over 7}={2a+3a\over 7}$$

(2)   $${2a\over 5}+{a\over 3}={2a\times 3\over 7\times 3}+{a\times 5\over 3\times 5}={6a+5a\over 15}={11a\over 15}$$

(3)  $${3a\over 4}-{2a\over 9}={3a\times 9\over 4\times 9}-{2a\times 4\over 9\times 4}={27a-8a\over 36}={19a\over 36}$$

Improper to Mixed Numeral algebraic fractions =======



(4)  (5.3?)  $$\begin{array}{l}
{33a\over 7}\\
={(4\times 7 +5)a\over 7}\\
=4{5\over 7}a
\end{array}$$

Multiplying algebraic fractions =======



(5)  
$$ \begin{array}{l}
{2x\over 3}\times{3x\over 4}\\
={2x\times 3x\over 3\times 4}\\
={6x^2\over 12}\quad \div
\mbox{top & bottom by $6$}\\
={1x^2\over 2}\\
={x^2\over 2}
\end{array}$$

(6)   ${2a\over 7}+{3a\over 7}={2a+3a\over 7}$
