Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A complex fraction is a fraction where either the numerator, denominator, or both contain fractions or have expressions that involve variables. To rewrite such a fraction as a division problem, we simply write the fraction's numerator over its denominator and calculate the division. For example, the complex fraction (1/2)/(3/4) can be rewritten as (1/2) ÷ (3/4) = (1/2) × (4/3) = 4/6 = 2/3.
