To subtract fractions, the denominators (bottom numbers) must be equal; so first convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then the numerators (top numbers) are subtracted and the resulting fraction simplified:
2/3 - 2/5 = 10/15 - 6/15
= 4/15
5 over 6 minus 2 in simplest form equals -1 1/6
4/7 minus 2/8 = 9/28 in its simplest form
It is: 1 and 1/6 minus 2/3 = 1/2 in its simplest form
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, -4 1/2 - 2 1/5 = -6 7/10 or minus 6 and seven tenths.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 4/5 - 2/15 = 2/3 or two thirds.
2 over 7 is the simplest form.
9/12 - 7/12 = 2/12 or 1/6
2 over 3 is already in the simplest form.
2/3 is in its simplest form.
That is its simplest form.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 5/6 - 2/3 = 1/6 or one sixth.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 5/9 - 2/18 = 4/9 or four ninths.
