say you have 7/5 and 8/4.

to subtract them, all you have to do is give them a common denominator (the number on the bottem)

the lowest commen denominator (LCM) is 20

to get both of them with a denominator of 20 multiply by 4/4 and 5/5 respectivly.

7/5 x 4/4 = 28/20

8/4 x 5/5 = 40/20

then subtract.

40/20 - 28/20 = 12/20
