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 (if necessary):

1/4 - 11/16 = (1×4)/(4×4) - 11/16 = 4/16 - 11/16 = (4-11)/16 = -7/16
