Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed.
If the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and subtract the numerators.
No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed.

Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed normally.
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same (eg. 11/6 - 7/6) you just subtract the numerators (top numbers) eg. 11-7=4 so 4/6. If the denominators are different you have to find equivalent fractions where the denominators are the same.
You need common denominators. Then add or subtract the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction it is common practice to reduce it to a mixed number.
he fact that they are improper is irrelevant. Re-scale the fractions so that they have the same denominator and thenadd or subtract as required.
