Fraction Division and Compound Fractions
Division of
fractions with variables can become multiplication of fractions by inverting
the second fraction. Because compound fractions are really only fraction
division problems, rewrite the compound fraction as fraction division then as
fraction multiplication.

At times,
especially in calculus, you might need to write a fraction as a product of two
fractions or of one fraction and a whole number or of one fraction and a
variable. The steps you will follow are the same as in multiplying fractions-only
in reverse.

Operations on Fractions with Variables
Multiplication
of fractions with variables is done in exactly the same way as multiplication
of fractions without variables-multiply the numerators and multiply the
denominators.

Canceling with Variables
Variables
can be canceled in fractions just as whole numbers can be.

Introduction
to Variables
A variable is a symbol for a number whose value is unknown. A variable might
represent quantities at different times. For example if you are paid by the
hour for your job and you earn $10 per hour, letting x represent the number of hours worked would allow you to write
your earnings as ‘‘10x.’’ The value
of your earnings varies depending on the number of hours worked. If an equation
has one variable, we can use algebra to determine what value the variable is
representing.
