III. PROCEDURE: A. EXPLORE
Motivation: Intensive Review

To perform multiplication and division of rational algebraic expression,

let the students recall how to multiply and divide fractions.
o How do you multiply fractions?
2
∗9
o Given 3 , other than multiplying 2 to 9 and 3 t0 10, can you think of
10
other ways to perform multiplication?
o Is expressing fractions using common factors benefit you in multiplying
them?
o How is cancellation technique used in multiplying fractions? Is it
necessary?
o What makes multiplying fractions essential in dividing fractions?

B. FIRM UP
This process of dividing fractions works in performing division on rational
algebraic expressions.

Step 1: Change the divisor to its reciprocal and proceed to multiplication.

Step 2: factor the numerators and denominators completely whenever

possible.

Step 3: Cancel out common factors that can be found in the numerators and
denominators, or both.

Step 4: Further simplify, if possible.
