Solve the following problem:
Let's flip the fraction to get a multiplication exercise:
We'll add the expression in the first parentheses to the numerator of the fraction:
We'll write the denominator of the fraction as a multiplication exercise:
Let's simplify a+b+c:
\( 70:(14\times5)= \)
The colon (:) is another way to write division, just like ÷. So means the same as .
Same rule applies! Flip the fraction and multiply. So dividing by becomes multiplying by .
Because by the distributive property. This is the same as factoring out a common factor from addition!
Not in this problem! When the same expression appears in both numerator and denominator, they cancel out completely, leaving just the number .
If , then both the numerator and denominator become zero, making the expression undefined. This is a special case where division cannot be performed.
