Dimensional Analysis

I understand that both sides of an equation have to be dimensionally consistent however I’ve no idea how to sub the dimensions in when partial fractions are involved. Any hints how to deal with them? Thanks

Do you know how to determine the dimensions of a differential term ?

I don't see any "partial fractions" in that question! Do you mean "partial derivatives"? Take a simpler example with 1 variable: if x has dimensions of [L] then what would be the dimensions of v = dx/dt for example?
