Exercise 5 Page 44

Start by rewriting the complex fraction as a division problem.

27

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the following expression. 9/13 As we can see, we have a complex fraction. Let's rewrite it as a division problem. 9/13 = 9 ÷ 1/3 Now we can write the division by 13 as multiplication by the reciprocal of 13, which is 31. 9 ÷ 1/3 = 9 * 3/1 Finally, let's evaluate the expression.
9 * 3/1
9 * 3
27
We found that the given complex fraction is equal to 27.
