Q: Always avoid wheat flours or flours labeled as being derived from barley, rye, or triticale. Other flours to avoid include those listed as bulgur, durum, farina, graham, kamut, semolina, and spelt flours. Avoid flours that list ingredients likely to be contaminated with gluten unless the product is labeled as gluten-free. Frequently contaminated grain flours may include corn, soy, rice, potato, and beans unless otherwise stated. Flours that include flax, millet, quinoa, sorghum, tapioca, teff, buckwheat, arrowroot, or amaranth as ingredients may also be contaminated. Most flour products that are truly gluten-free will be labeled as such. Always check ingredient lists to verify that the flour could not be cross-contaminated or hiding a gluten-based ingredient if the label does not specify. Not all non-wheat flours will truly be gluten-free. If you really want to reduce the risk of purchasing baking flour that contains gluten, your best option is probably focusing your search efforts in a special gluten-free food aisle or specialty food store that focuses on providing reliable and safe gluten-free identification for its food products. Letting the vendor do the work for you provides extra reassurance that you have selected a gluten-free flour.
A: Memorize the different names for gluten. Buy flours specifically labeled as gluten-free. Consider purchasing flour from a specialty aisle or store only.

Q: The first thing to do when simplifying an algebraic fraction is to simplify each part of the fraction. Start with the top part, factoring out as many numbers as you can. For an example, this section will use the problem: 9x-315x+6 Start with the numerator: 9x 3. There is a common factor to both 9x and -3: 3. Factor out the 3 like you would any other number, leaving you with 3 * (3x-1). This is your new numerator: 3(3x-1)15x+6 Continuing the example from above, isolate the denominator, 15x+6. Again, look for a number that can divide into both parts. Here you can again factor out a 3, leaving you with 3 * (5x +2). Write in your new denominator: 3(3x-1)3(5x+2) This is the stage where you really get to simplify the fraction. Take any terms that are in both the numerator and the denominator and remove them. In this case, we can remove the 3 from both the top and the bottom. 3(3x-1) (3x-1)3(5x+2) (5x+2) A fraction is simplified when there are no more common factors in the top or the bottom. Remember that you cannot remove factors from inside the parenthesis in the example problem you cannot factor out the x from 3x and 5x, since the full terms are actually (3x -1) and (5x + 2). Thus, the example is fully simplified, making the final answer: (3x-1)(5x+2) The best way to learn is to keep trying to simplify algebraic fractions. The answers are underneath the problems. 4(x+2)(x-13)(4x+8) Answer: (x=13) 2x2-x5x Answer:(2x-1)/5
A:
Find a common factor in the numerator, or top part of the fraction. Find a common factor in the denominator. Remove like terms. Know when the equation is fully simplified. Try a practice problem.
