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.

How do you subtract mixed fractions if the denominator is different?
In that case, you first have to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. For example: 1/2 - 1/3 = 3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6.
Do you have to have the same denominator when you subtract fractions?
Yes, but the numerator is different,same as adding fractions
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.
Do you add and subtract like and unlike fractions in the same way?
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,

How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.

How do you subtract fractions without mixed numbers?
First, turn the fraction into a improper fraction. Then find a common denominator between the two numbers. After this, subtract strait across, but leave the denominator the same.
Do you add and subtract like and unlike fractions in the same way?
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
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.
How do you add and subtract improper fractions with different denominator?
he fact that they are improper is irrelevant. Re-scale the fractions so that they have the same denominator and thenadd or subtract as required.
How are fractions under addition?
In order to add or subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator.
Why do you need a common denominator with fractions?
You can add or subtract fractions only if they are "like" fractions, that is, only if they have the same denominator - unless you know your fractions really well.
How do you find the difference of two fractions with the same denominator?
Subtract as if there were no denominators.
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
