If the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction simplifies to 1. And you should be able to subtract 1!
You convert the mixed numeral into an improper fraction. Now subtract the improper fraction from the whole number by putting the whole number over 1.
Change the whole number into an improper fraction with the same denominator as the fraction and then subtract accordingly
Change 1 to a fraction and subtract the numerators. EXAMPLE: 1 - 2/5 = 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5
Just the fraction, 1/2. Or, you could subtract 1/2 from 1, or add 1/2 to 0. It's pretty easy.
You can subtract the bigger fraction by the smaller fraction and then put a minus sign in front of the answer.
(-1/2) - (1/4) = -3/4 Done!
Let P = 0.010101... Hence 100P = 1.01010.... Subtract 99P = 1 ( NB The repeating decimals subtract out). P = 1/99
You can either convert the decimal to a fraction and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4), OR you can convert the fraction to a decimal and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 0.75 - 0.5 = 0.25).
Subtract the fraction of students who did from 1.
You change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction . Then you find the denominators GCF. Then you subtract. Another reply: Converting to an improper fraction is not really necessary, but converting to a common denominator is. Example: 3 1/2 - 1 1/3 = 3 3/6 - 1 2/6 = 2 1/6. In other words, you can subtract the integer part and the fraction part separately.

The answer is 1/8.

either convert the fraction into a decimal or the integer into a fraction. For example if you were attempting to subtract 1/3 from 2, you could either turn 1/3 into 0.3 repeating (by dividing 1 into three) or by turning 2 into 6/3, by placing the denominator from the fraction below the whole number, than multiplying the whole number by its new denominator, thus effectively converting it into a fraction. To subtract 1/3 from 6/3, simply subtract 1 from 6, and keep the denominator (5/3). If you opted to convert the fraction into a decimal earlier, simply subtract the 0.3 repeating from the 2, thinking of the 2 as its other representative, 2.0 repeating, solving to 1.6 repeating (ending eventually in an imaginary 7)
