You learned how to perform division of fractions? Nothing has changed. The method or process is still the same.

You most certainly omitted the necessary parentheses for the two rational expressions:

%28%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x-1%29%29%2F%28%28x%5E2%2Bx%29%2F%28x-1%29%29
Remember, "invert and multiply"?

%28%28x%2B4%29%2F%28x-1%29%29%2A%28%28x-1%29%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx%29%29
Can you simplify, including eliminating any redundant factors of 1?
