for subtracting fractions you must find a common denominator. For example

4/6 -1/3 then you must either multiply 1/3 by 2 or divide 4/6 by 2. Id you choose to multiply then you get 4/6 - 2/6 and then you just subtract 4 and 2 and leave the common denominator out of this. the answer to this question is 2, them you add the denominator to make it 2/6. Then you should put it into lowest terms. In this equation you can divide by 2 to get 1/3.

To multiply you must cross reduce then multiply the denominator and the numerator. And then you will get you answer
