Question
Simplify each complex rational expression by writing it as division.$$\frac{\frac{1}{p}+\frac{p}{q}}{\frac{q}{p}-\frac{1}{q}}$$
Step 1
The smallest quantity that p and q are divisible by is pq. So, we rewrite the fractions as follows: $$\frac{\frac{q}{pq}+\frac{p^2}{pq}}{\frac{q^2}{pq}-\frac{p}{pq}}$$ Show more…
