What This Module is About
A rational algebraic expression is a ratio of two polynomials where the
denominator is not equal to zero. It is said to be in its simplest form when the
numerator and denominator are polynomials with no common factors other than 1.
In the previous module, you had learned on how to simplify rational algebraic
expressions. Now in this module, all your learnings in simplifying rational algebraic
expressions will be used to perform operations on rational algebraic expressions. As
these becomes clear to you through the succeeding activities, do not forget to think
about how to apply these concepts in solving real-life problems especially rate
related problems.

Just as we can multiply fractions, we can multiply rational expressions, or
fractions that include polynomials. In fact, we use the same processes for multiplying
rational expressions as we use for multiplying numeric fractions.
The product of two rational expressions is the product of the numerators
divided by the product of the denominators. In symbols,

What’s In
We have learned from Lesson 1 on how to multiply rational algebraic
expressions. We've seen that we multiply rational expressions like we multiply
fractions. It should come as no surprise that we also divide rational expressions the
same way we divide numerical fractions. Specifically, to divide rational expressions,
multiply the rational expression numerator by the reciprocal of the rational expression
denominator.

Lesson
3 Rational Algebraic
Expressions
What’s In
We have learned from Lessons 1 and 2 on how to multiply and divide rational
algebraic expressions. At start math, students usually learn how to add and subtract
whole numbers before being taught multiplication and division. However, with
fractions and rational expressions, multiplication and division are sometimes taught
first because these operations are easier to perform than addition and subtraction.
Addition and subtraction of rational expressions are not as easy to perform as
multiplication because, as with numeric fractions, the process involves finding
common denominators. By working carefully and writing down the steps along the
way, you can keep track of all of the numbers and variables and perform the
operations accurately.

Complex rational expressions are quotients with rational expressions in the
divisor, dividend, or both. When written in fractional form, they appear to be fractions
within a fraction. These can be simplified by first treating the quotient as a division
problem. Then you can rewrite the division as multiplication using the reciprocal of
the divisor. Or you can simplify the complex rational expression by multiplying both
the numerator and denominator by a denominator common to all rational expressions
within the complex expression. This can help simplify the complex expression even
faster.

Lesson Application on Rational
5 Algebraic Expressions
What’s In
In the previous lessons, the discussion is all about operations on rational
algebraic expressions. How much of your initial ideas were discussed? Which ideas
17
are different and need revision? The skills in performing the operations on rational
algebraic expressions is one of the key concepts in solving rate-related problems.
What I Need to Know
Rational expressions can be useful tools for representing real life situations
and for finding answers to real problems. In particular, they are quite good for
describing distance-speed-time questions, and modeling multi-person work
problems.
What’s New
Activity 1: Let’s Find my Formula!
Work problems often ask us to calculate how long it will take different people
working at different speeds to finish a task. The algebraic models of such situations
often involve rational equations derived from the work formula, W = rt. The amount
of work done (W) is the product of the rate of work (r) and the time spent working (t).
Write the 3 versions of work formula:
1. 2. 3.
What Is It
Some work problems have multiple machines or people working on a project
together for the same amount of time but at different rates. In that case, we can add
their individual work rates together to get a total work rate. Let’s look at an example:
Illustrative example 1:
Myra takes 2 hours to plant 500 flower bulbs. Francis takes 3 hours to plant
450 flower bulbs. Working together, how long should it take them to plant 1500
bulbs?
Solution:
Myra: 18 Think about how many bulbs each
person can plant in one hour. This is
Francis: their planting rate.
Combine their hourly rates to
determine the rate they work toether.
Use one of the work formulas to write
a rational equation, for example .
We know r, the combined work rate,
and we know W, the amount of work
that must be done. What we don’t
know is how much time it will take to
do the required work at the
designated rate.
Solve the equation by multiplying
both sides by the common
denominator, then isolating t.
hours / 3 hours and 45 minutes
Answer:
It takes 3 hours and 45 minutes for Myra and Francis to plant 1500 flower bulbs
together.
Illustrative example 2:
One pipe can fill a pool 1.5 times faster than a second pipe. If both pipes are
open, the pool can be filled in 6 hours. If only the slower pipe is open, how long
would it take to fill the pool?
Solution:
Find the rates of each pipe alone and
the two working together.
Work = 1 pool filled
Hours needed for fast pipe to fill pool: p
Hours needed for slow pipe to fill pool
19
alone: 1.5p
Hours needed for both pipes together: 6
Write an equation that shows that the
in one hour is equal to the sum of the
work of each pipe.
Solve for p. One way to do this is to
rewrite the rational expressions using a
common denominator.
hours Commom denominator of p, 1.5p and 6
is 6p.
hours
Answer:
The slower pipe will take 15 hours to fill the pool alone.
Slow pipe takes 1.5p hours to do the
work alone.

Jamie, Pria and Paul can paint a room together in 2 hours. If Pria does the job
alone she can paint the room in 5 hours. If Paul works alone, he can paint the room

Summary
Now that you have completed this module, let us summarize what have you learned:
1. Rate-related problems can be modeled using rational algebraic
expressions.
2. To multiply rational algebraic expressions, multiply the numerator and the
denominator, then simplify.
3. To divide rational algebraic expressions, multiply the dividend by the
reciprocal of the divisor, then multiply.
4. To add/subtract similar rational algebraic expressions, add/subtract the
numerators, and copy the common denominator.
5. To add/subtract dissimilar rational algebraic expressions, express each
with similar denominator, then add/subtract the numerators and copy the
common denominator.
6. A complex rational algebraic expression is an expression where the
numerator or denominator, or both the numerator and the denominator,
are rational algebraic expressions.
