Try an exercise....
Put three coins in front of you... let's say that they're worth 1 cent each. Add them all up an you have 3 cents. Now, take one off the table, you know that all coins in total is worth 3 cents, but on the table you only see 2 cents. That means the remaining fraction of cents represented is 2/3 (two cents on the table and one off the table out of three total cents). You also know that the fraction of cents off the table is 1/3 (one cent off the table out of three total cents).
That is the fraction of amounts (as you call it). You know a total but only a fraction of that total is counted for one reason or another (in our example, on the table or off the table).

How do you find the sum or difference of two fractions with different denominators?
find the lowest common denominator
How do you minnous fractions?
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.
