How do you subtract mixed fractions when they have the same denominator?
The numerator of the answer is the result of subtracting the numerators of the fractions, and the denominator of the fraction is the same as the common denominator.
What are the rules in subtracting similar fraction?
If the denominators are the same (which is what I understand by "similar fractions"), just subtract the numerators (the upper part).
What is the process of subtracting fractions?
If the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and subtract the numerators.
Why cant you compare the denominator but you can compare the numerator?
You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.
How do you add or subtract the similar fraction?
If the fractions have the same denominator, just add or subtract the numerators. 13/20 - 9/20 = 4/20 2/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
How do you borrow when subtracting a fraction?
If you have common denominators, then you subtract the numerators of the fraction in the same way you do any other numbers. So yes you can borrow.
How do you subtract mixed fractions when they have the same denominator?
The numerator of the answer is the result of subtracting the numerators of the fractions, and the denominator of the fraction is the same as the common denominator.
