Lesson 37: Operations on Algebraic Fractions

The four arithmetic operations on fractions are given here, but in each case examples of using the operation on ordinary fractions is first reviewed, helping to ground the new material in the understanding of the familiar older content. Finding the least common denominator and rewriting the new equivalent fraction is also presented. The lesson concludes with a motion application problem.
