In this lesson, students extend multiplication and division of rational numbers to multiplication and division of rational
expressions.
- To multiply two rational expressions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators
together, and then reduce to lowest terms.
- To divide one rational expression by another, multiply the first by the multiplicative inverse of the second,
and reduce to lowest terms.
- To simplify a complex fraction, apply the process for dividing one rational expression by another
