If the fractions have a common (same) denominator, you simply subtract the numerators
Example 5/8 - 3/8 = 2/8 or 1/4
If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert the fractions to ones that have the same denominator (the least common denominator) and then subtract.
Example 5/8 - 2/5 = 25/40 - 16/40 (multiply the first by 5/5 and the second by 8/8)
with the result 9/40. (check to see if the answer is reducible)

How do you add and subtract dissimilar fractions?
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
How do u subtract fractions?
multiply the fractions until they have common denominators and then subtract them
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.

What does subtracting fractions mean?
It means you have to subtract fractions.
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
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.
How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.

Do you add and subtract like and unlike fractions in the same way?
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
How do you subtract similar fractions?
Just subtract the numerators and copy the denominator
How do you subtract fractions with unequal denominators?
by finding the common denominator of the fractions
