6 1/9 - 3 1/3
Subtraction of fractions.
Steps to take; -
#1 ; Bring both fractions to improprer (top Heavy) fraction.
#2 ; Bring both to a common denominator
#3 ; Bring the numerators (top) numvers to equivalent values.
#4 ; Subtract the numertors (top numbers)
#5 ; place over the denominators
#6 ; Bring to a mixed number.
Hence
#1 6 1/9 & 3 1/3 becomes 55/9 & 10/3
#2 '9' is the common denominator ; 9 x 1 = 9 & 3 X 3 = 9
#3 55 & 3(10) = 30
#4 55 - 30 = 25
#5 25/9
#6 2 7/9 The Answer!!!!!
Done!!!!!
Well, let's take a deep breath and look at this with a happy little perspective. To subtract these fractions, you first need to find a common denominator. Once you have that, simply subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents in math!
Two equivalent fractions are 2 over 12, and 3 over 18. There much more equivalent fractions besides those.
3/5-1/3... First make both fractions equal... 3/5 = 9/15 and 1/3 = 5/15. 9/15 - 5/15 = 4/15
To subtract fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 10 and 4 is 20. So, rewriting the fractions with a denominator of 20, we get 6/20 - 5/20 which equals 1/20.
-1/3 Make them into fractions like: 2/9-5/9 Then you just solve and you get -3/9 which reduces to -1/3
To subtract fractions, the denominators (bottom numbers) must be equal; so first convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then the numerators (top numbers) are subtracted and the resulting fraction simplified: 5/6 - 1/4 = 10/12 - 3/12 = 7/12
