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.

Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
If the denominators are the same (which is what I understand by "similar fractions"), just subtract the numerators (the upper part).
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
multiply the fractions until they have common denominators and then subtract them
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.
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
You don't
It means you have to subtract fractions.
subtracting fractions
I assume you mean, with different denominators. If you want to add the fractions, subtract them, or compare them (determine which one is greater), you have to convert them to similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first. Converting to similar fractions is not necessary, and usually doesn't even help, if you want to multiply or divide fractions.
