Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
It is an instruction for you to carry out the arithmetic operation of subtraction on fractions whose denominators are not the same.
similar fraction is the same denominator and dissimilar fraction is cannot the same denominators
A dissimilar fraction is a fraction where the denominator is not the same as the others .
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators as in the following examples 1/2, 3/5 and 7/8
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
What is the answer for 8 1/3 - 5 2/6
It is an instruction for you to carry out the arithmetic operation of subtraction on fractions whose denominators are not the same.
Make them into improper fractions, find the least common denominator, convert them, subtract, reduce if possible.
Dissimilar fractions may or may not be proper fractions.
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
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.
Used for adding dissimilar fractions
The meaning of dissimilar fractions is when there is a pair or more of fractions that don't have the same denominator.
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.
