Evaluating Algebraic Expressions
A proper fraction has an odd number as
the numerator and 10 as the
denominator. This fraction is divided by a
proper fraction with denominator 5. Will
the denominator of the quotient be odd
or even? Explain and show examples.

NS1.2 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide
rational numbers (integers, fractions, and
terminating decimals) and take positive rational
numbers to whole-number powers.

To add
and subtract
fractions Expressions
with unlike
denominators, first find a common
denominator using one of these methods:
Method 1 Find a common denominator by
multiplying the denominators.
Method 2 Find the least common
denominator (LCD).
