How do you minnous fractions?
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.

How do you subtract fractions without alike denominators?
Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of the denominators.
When adding fractions with unlike denominators it is most helpful if the fractions are renamed using the?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator.
When do you have to use the common denominators?
You use them when there are 2 fractions with different denominators.
Do you need common denominators when subtracting fractions?
Yes. You need common denominators if you want to:Add fractionsSubtract fractionsCompare fractions ("which is larger?")You do not need common denominators to multiply or divide fractions. Thus, in the case of fractions, multiplication and division is actually easier than addition and subtraction.
