Step-by-step solution for: Simplifying Complex Fractions Lesson Plans & Worksheets
To solve the given complex fractions, we will simplify each expression step by step. Let's go through each problem systematically.

Simplify:
$$
\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{5}{6}}
$$
#### Solution:
To simplify a fraction divided by another fraction, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
$$
\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{5}{6}} = \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{6}{5}
$$
Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:
$$
\frac{3 \cdot 6}{4 \cdot 5} = \frac{18}{20}
$$
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2:
$$
\frac{18 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = \frac{9}{10}
$$
Thus, the simplified form is:
$$
\boxed{\frac{9}{10}}
$$

Simplify:
$$
\frac{\frac{7}{8}}{\frac{3}{4}}
$$
#### Solution:
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
$$
\frac{\frac{7}{8}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{7}{8} \cdot \frac{4}{3}
$$
Multiply the numerators and denominators:
$$
\frac{7 \cdot 4}{8 \cdot 3} = \frac{28}{24}
$$
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 4:
$$
\frac{28 \div 4}{24 \div 4} = \frac{7}{6}
$$
Thus, the simplified form is:
$$
\boxed{\frac{7}{6}}
$$

Simplify:
$$
\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{10}{12}}
$$
#### Solution:
First, simplify the denominator $\frac{10}{12}$:
$$
\frac{10}{12} = \frac{10 \div 2}{12 \div 2} = \frac{5}{6}
$$
Now, the expression becomes:
$$
\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}}
$$
Any number divided by itself is 1:
$$
\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}} = 1
$$
Thus, the simplified form is:
$$
\boxed{1}
$$

Simplify:
$$
\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{4}{9}}
$$
#### Solution:

$$
Multiply the numerators and denominators:
$$
\frac{2 \cdot 9}{3 \cdot 4} = \frac{18}{12}
$$
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 6:
$$
\frac{18 \div 6}{12 \div 6} = \frac{3}{2}
$$
Thus, the simplified form is:
$$
\boxed{\frac{3}{2}}
