If the two bottom numbers are the same, you will carry that same number over to the denominator in the answer. To get the numerator (top number) simply subtract the two numerator and place the number over the answer denominator.
subtracting similar fractions is just like adding them. You only subtract the numerator (top part) and then copy the denominator (bottom part). 4/5 - 1/5 = 3/5
Numerator is the expression written above the line in a common fraction to indicate the number of parts of the whole. And in fractions numerator is the top and the denominator is on the bottom your welcome.
The result (which should be simplified) is another fraction of some kind: * a proper (or vulgar fraction) with the numerator (top number) less than the denominator (bottom number); * an improper fraction with the numerator greater than the denominator which can be converted into a mixed number; or * an integer (whole number).
solve the top and bottom first, as if each were in parentheses. Then Divide the numerator by the denominator
yes

Just make the numerator(top number)smaller than the denominator(bottom number) and it is a proper fraction.

Yes the bottom has to be the same when subtracting fractions. The bottom (or denominator) tells you what you're working with. You cannot subtract thirds from halves just as you cannot subtract oranges from tissues.
common denominator! Numerator is top # Denominator is bottom #
You divide the numerator (top #) by the denomentaor (bottom #)
You divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number)
Divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).

its the same as working with integers. + and a + = + -and a - = + + and a - = - - and a + = - eg. 4/4 - - 3/4= 4/4 + 3/4= 1 3/4 1/2+ - 3/10 = 2/10= 1/5
The denominator (bottom number) must be the same for all the fractions being added or subtracted together.
