Application Tasks:
Application Tasks:
Textbook Questions: Chapter 6I (questions 1 - 4)
Textbook Questions: Chapter 6J (questions 1 - 9)
Work through the questions but ignore all denominators, multiplying and dividing as normal, then try to add denominators (keep the denominator the same in final answer)
Explain the deeper concept of why we actually use the method of straight multiplication to corresponding numerators and denominators, e.g. why it works every time
Explain also why we flip the fraction then multiply to solve for fraction division
