The question asked was "Where would weever use rational expressions?" After doing some research I have found a couple of jobs that do involve using rational expressions:
1) Chemist- A chemist may have to use rational expressions in the case of trying to find out how much solute must go into a solution to make it a certain percentage of each substance (ex. how much bleach should be added to 47 L of water to make a solution that is 6% bleach).
2) Captain of Ship- A captain of a ship may have to use rational expressions in the case of trying to figure out how long it's going to take them to get to a certain location. A rational expression could be used if you have your average speed in still water, the distance travelled upstream/downstream to determine your average speed.
These are just a few examples of jobs that use rational expressions but if you really think about it there are many jobs that use some sort of rational expressions.
