Exercise 6 Page 44

Start by rewriting the complex fraction as a division problem.

1/8

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the following expression. 12/4 As we can see, we have a complex fraction. Let's rewrite it as a division problem. 12/4 = 1/2 ÷ 4 Now we can write the division by 4 as multiplication by the reciprocal of 4, which is 14. 1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/2 * 1/4 Finally, let's evaluate the expression.
1/2 * 1/4
1* 1/2* 4
1/8
We found that the given complex fraction is equal to 18.
