The downloadable and on-line exercises and review material found on this web site support your practice of using rational expressions in different ways.

Extra Practice exercises are downloadable worksheets of additional practice exercises. Print out these worksheets, work through the problems, and then check your work against the corresponding answer page.

InterAct math tutorials provide you with on-line practice problems and guided solutions.

Now that you've practiced the basic operations on polynomials, go back to page 727, the first page of Chapter 12 of your Developmental Mathematics textbook and review the recycling application.

Here's your chance to explore the World Wide Web and practice your skills at the same time. Explore some related Web sites and find out more about recycling issues, organizations, and guidelines for community recycling.

After you've practiced and explored, don't forget to prepare for your upcoming Chapter Test. Work through the Chapter 12 Review and then check your answers. These free downloadable files are accessible by selecting the Chapter Review button at the top of this page.
