What are the steps of subtracting dissimilar fractions?
Example 7/9 - 2/5 1. Make denominators the same (they're the bottom bits) 7/9*5/5 = 35/45 2/5*9/9 = 18/45 2. Now they're the same 35/45 - 18/45 = 17/45

What are the steps in subtracting dissimilar fractions with whole numbers?
I'll make up an example problem; 2 3/5 - 1 1/4. First get your terms into fraction form 2 3/5 = 13/5 and 1 1/4 = 5/4 so our problem becomes 13/5-5/4 next find the least common denominator ( in this case 20 ) 52/20 - 25/20 = 27/20 then simplify 27/20 = 1 7/20
