IV – PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing REVIEW:
previous lesson or  Ask the students how to simplify rational algebraic expressions
presenting new with zero and negative exponents.
lesson
B. Establishing a MOTIVATION:
purpose for the  Ancient Egyptians had special rules on fractions. If they have five
lesson loaves for eight persons, they would not divide it immediately by
eight. Instead, they would use the concept of unit fraction. A unit
fraction has one as numerator. Egyptian fractions used unit
fractions without repetition except 2/3. To be able to divide five
loaves among eight persons, they had to cut the four loaves into
5
two and the last one would be cut into eight parts. In short, 8 =
1 1
2
+8.

lesson
The product of two rational expressions is the product of the
numerators divided by the product of the denominators. In symbols,
𝑎 𝑐 𝑎𝑐
∗ = , 𝑏𝑑 ≠ 0
𝑏 𝑑 𝑏𝑑
The quotient of two rational algebraic expressions is the product of
the dividend and the reciprocal of the divisor. In symbols,
𝑎 𝑐 𝑎 𝑑
÷ = ∗ , 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 ≠ 0
𝑏 𝑑 𝑏 𝑐
