How do you simplify an algebraic expression that has fractions?
Multiply every term in the expression by the least common multiple of all the denominators. That will get rid of all fractions.
Why does a fraction need to be made up of numbers?
You can have algebraic fractions but, even there, the letters do represent numbers; except that their values are indeterminate.
-6 1 2 plus -1 3 10?
The answer would be -7 4/5. First convert the mixed numbers into fractions. Then use the algebraic formula for addition of fractions: a/b + c/d = (ad + bc) / bd. Last, reduce the fractions.
When were fractions discovered?
Historically, any number that did not represent a whole was called a "fraction". The numbers that we now call "decimals" were originally called "decimal fractions"; the numbers we now call "fractions" were called "vulgar fractions", the word "vulgar" meaning "commonplace". The word is also used in related expressions, such as continued fraction and algebraic fraction-see Special cases below.
What type of fractions can you compare by looking at the numerator?
Only Fractions with a Common Denominator can be directly compared.
Are algebraic fractions whose numerator and denominator are polynomials?
Yes.
What are algebraic fractions whose numerator and denominator are polynomials?
A rational fraction.
Why does integration by partial fractions work?
It is because the partial fractions are simply another way of expressing the same algebraic fraction.
How do you simplify an algebraic expression that has fractions?
Multiply every term in the expression by the least common multiple of all the denominators. That will get rid of all fractions.
Who uses the least common multiple?
Anyone who is trying to add or subtract fractions.
Which of the expressions are not polynomials?
Exponential, trigonometric, algebraic fractions, inverse etc are all examples.
Can coefficients be fractions?
Yes, coefficients can be fractions in algebraic expressions. Fractions may appear when coefficients are expressed in a ratio or when simplifying expressions that involve division.
What is the solution- Algebraic Fractions with Exponents where the answer is a half?

Why does a fraction need to be made up of numbers?
You can have algebraic fractions but, even there, the letters do represent numbers; except that their values are indeterminate.
