I assume you mean subtracting a fraction from another fraction. In this case, you need to multiply both the top and bottom number by another number so both fractions have the same bottom number. Then you can subtract the top numbers and simplify if needed. (ex. 7/8 - 1/2 = ? ...... 7/8 - 1/2(4/4) = ? ...... 7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8) If you can't just multiply one of fractions to get the same bottom number as the other fraction, multiply them both by different numbers until you get the same bottom number. (ex. You could use the same equation as in the first example, but make the bottom number 16 instead, just as an example..... 7/8 - 1/2 = ? ...... 7/8(2/2) - 1/2(8/8) = ? ...... 14/16 - 8/16 = 6/16 ...... Simplify 6/16: 6/16 take 2 out of top and bottom both = 3/8).

Why if you take an electron way from another the atom shows up positive?
If you take an electron away from an atom that is neutrally charged (has no charge) then because electrons are negatively charged the atom will become positive. For example if you have 5 protons 5 neutrons and 5 electrons then the electrons and protons cancel one another out. (+5-5=0) take away an electron and there are only four electrons and five protons leaving one positively charged molecule making the atom positive. (+5-4=+1)
