Mulitplying by the LCM to simplify a complex fraction

What is the primary goal when dealing with expressions that have fractions in both the numerator and denominator?

• To multiply the fractions

• To eliminate the denominators

• To divide the fractions

• To add more fractions

Why is it important to find the least common multiple of the denominators?

• To increase the number of fractions

• To make the expression more complex

• To simplify the expression by eliminating denominators

• To add more variables to the expression

What happens when you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the least common multiple?

• The numerators are eliminated

• The expression becomes more complicated

• The expression remains unchanged

• The denominators are eliminated

Which mathematical property is applied to distribute the least common multiple across the fractions?

• Commutative Property

• Associative Property

• Identity Property

• Distributive Property

What is the final simplified result of the expression in the example?

• 9 / 11

• 11 / 9

• 10 / 8

• 8 / 10
