Practice makes perfect
A complex fraction is a rational expression that has at least one fraction in its numerator, denominator, or both. We want to simplify the given complex fraction.
3- 12/76
To do so, we will combine the expressions in the numerator. Then, we will multiply the new numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Let's simplify the numerator.
Next, we can rewrite the complex fraction using the simplified component.
3- 12/76 ⇔ 52/76
Finally, we will multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.
52/76 ⇔ 5/2 * 6/7
We can simplify this expression.
