The purpose of this task is for students rewrite a simple rational expression and study the arithmetic of these expressions. Egyptian fractions provide an interesting context, both historically and mathematically, for students to use rational expressions. Analogous to the standard A-APR.4, in which students use polynomial identities to describe numerical relationships, this task has students rewrite rational expressions (A-APR.D) in order to deduce information about rational numbers.
