\n" ); document.write( "simplify each complex fraction
\n" ); document.write( "(w+3)/(4w) divided by (w-3)/(2w)
\n" ); document.write( "Remember when you divide fractions, you invert the dividing fraction & multiply:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28w%2B3%29%29%2F%284w%29\" * \"%282W%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel the 2w into the 4w and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28w%2B3%29%29%2F2\" * \"1%2F%28%28w-3%29%29\" = \"%28%28w%2B3%29%29%2F%282%28w-3%29%29\" about as simple as you can get it.
