State
A fraction splits across the terms of its numerator: (a + b)/c = a/c + b/c — the denominator serves each term.
Show
(6 + 9)/3 is 15/3 = 5, and 6/3 + 9/3 is 2 + 3 = 5. Same value by both routes.
Watch for
The split runs over the top only.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
