How would you add or subtract fractions with like denominators?
The same way you would add or subtract whole numbers, leaving the denominators alone.
How do you subtract Fractions with models unlike denominators?
The denominators need to be the same for subtraction. Find the Least Common Denominator for both items and then subtract.
When do you need a common denominator?
The denominators must be the same before you can add or subtract fractions.
When you add or subtract fractions with the same denominators what happens to the denominator in your answer?
It stays the same. Only the numerators change.
When you add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators why do you have to find LCM?
Because to add fractions, the denominators must be equal.
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.

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.
When you subtract fractions do you subtract the denominator?
No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
How do you add and subtract by fractions?
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
How do you find the difference of two fractions with the same denominator?
Subtract as if there were no denominators.

How do you subtract fraction if the if the numerators is the same?
You first have to convert the fractions so that the denominators are the same.
How do u subtract fractions?
multiply the fractions until they have common denominators and then subtract them
Do you always have to have like numerators in fractions before you can add or subtract?
No, the denominators have to be the same.
How can you use a model to subtract fractions with like denominators?
No. You just have to change it so the denominators are the same, and then it's easy from there!
