It is an instruction for you to carry out the arithmetic operation of subtraction on fractions whose denominators are not the same.
To subtract dissimilar mixed fractions, first convert each mixed fraction into an improper fraction. Next, find a common denominator for the improper fractions. Once you have a common denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Finally, if needed, convert the result back into a mixed fraction.
Fractions with different denominators.
A dissimilar fraction is a fraction where the denominator is not the same as the others .
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
To subtract dissimilar fractions, first find a common denominator for the fractions. This involves determining the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once you have the common denominator, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator. Finally, subtract the numerators of the adjusted fractions while keeping the common denominator, and simplify the result if possible.

Fractions with different denominators.
The meaning of dissimilar fractions is when there is a pair or more of fractions that don't have the same denominator.
They are fractions that have different denominators as for instance 3/4 and 5/8 are dissimilar fractions.
Dissimilar fractions are not equivalent as for example 1/2 is the same as 2/4 but 3/5 and 2/7 are dissimilar fractions
Make them into improper fractions, find the least common denominator, convert them, subtract, reduce if possible.
A dissimilar fraction is a fraction where the denominator is not the same as the others .
To solve a Dissimilar Fraction,you must change the denominator to a similar fraction then proceed with the Adding/Subtracting Dissimilar Fraction...

A proper fraction is one fraction in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator. Dissimilar fractions are two or more fractions whose denominators are different (dissimilar).
