Understanding and Solving Equations Involving Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation involving fractions. It starts by rewriting the equation using division, then demonstrates multiplying by the reciprocal to simplify the equation. The tutorial continues by clearing the denominator and finally solving for the variable x, resulting in the solution x equals four-thirds.

What does a fraction bar represent in an equation?

• Multiplication

• Addition

• Division

• Subtraction

How can dividing by 1/4 be expressed differently?

• Adding 4

• Dividing by 4

• Multiplying by 4

• Multiplying by 1/4

What operation is used to clear the denominator of a fraction in an equation?

• Dividing both sides by the denominator

• Adding the denominator

• Subtracting the denominator

• Multiplying both sides by the denominator

After clearing the denominator, what is the next step to solve for the variable?

• Divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable

• Subtract the variable from both sides

• Add the variable to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the variable

What is the solution to the equation after all simplifications?

• x = 3

• x = 4/3

• x = 4

• x = 3/4
