I'm struggling with this topic, you know when they give an algebraic expression and whether its out of another one or not. We usually suggest it's out of 1, however in the textbooks they'd treat it as the numerator. For example in 17:01 it shows "3x+6/x-4" however we also regard this to be out of "3x+6/(x-4)(3x+6)".
