Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

{Name[0][0]} has written $\displaystyle{\simplify{({a}x+{b})/({c}y+{d})}}$ in the equivalent form $\displaystyle{\simplify{({ar}x+{br})/({cr}y+{dr})}}$ .

What has {Name[0][0]} done to the first fraction in order to get the second? {Name[0][1]} has divided the top and bottom by Unnamed gap .

Advice

Algebraic fractions involve various rules and some important tips are:

1.If we multiply or divide the top and bottom of a fraction by a number (not zero) we get an equivalent fraction. We say equivalent because they represent the same amount of the whole.

2.When you have a fraction, say $\displaystyle{\frac{1+2a+3b}{5+x}}$ , it represents the result of dividing everything on top by everything on the bottom, that is

$\frac{1+2a+3b}{5+x}=\frac{1}{5+x}+\frac{2a}{5+x}+\frac{3b}{5+x}$

3. Whenever we have such a 'fraction on a fraction' we want to rewrite the fraction to it is just one fraction. We can do this by multiplying by the denominator of the smaller/inner fraction.
