Question 1 • Algebra: Concepts and Connections
Multiply the numerators and denominators: (A/b)(x/y) = Ax/(by), since b and y are both nonzero. This is a rational expression, so C is true; it is also the ratio of Ax to by, making D true. Choice B gives the same product because (A/y)(x/b) = Ax/(by), while choice E places y as a factor outside the denominator.
