Before adding or subtracting two fractions they are converted into like fractions. Explain with examples why this is necessary.
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.
