When the denominators of two or more fractions are the SAME, then they can be added or subtracted directly. An easy way is to multiply each denominator by the other (along with its corresponding numerator).

Change them to like fractions and proceed.
The answer depends on how fluently you can work with fractions.
First, change it so that the two fractions have the same denominator (by changing the fractions into equivalent fractions). Once the two fractions have the same denominator, it is simply a case of subtracting the numerators, leaving the denominator the same. Finally, reduce the fraction to its lowest terms (if possible).
The terms "even" and "odd" are defined for integers, not for fractions.

Yes, you must.

to change dessimilar fractions to similar fractions you divide

It is already in lowest terms.
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor
You multiply out brackets, remove common factors from fractions, combine like terms.
I'd tell you but I don't know. Ha.-_________________-
It means to reduce fractions to their lowest terms as for example 4/8 = 1/2 in its lowest terms
To change percentages into fractions, you simply divide by 100.
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
