change the denominators to be the same, as you would for addition, so if you have 1/2 minus 1/4 - change the 1/2 to be 2/4 (denominators are the same) to do this multiply denominator by a number that equals the other denominator, in this case 2 and then times it to the top number, hence 2/4. Now you have 2/4 - 1/4, 2-1=1 so the answer is 1/4

What is the results when you flip the numerator and denominator of a fraction?
you get a completely different fraction
If two fractions have the same numerator but different denominators is the fraction with the greater denominator greater than or less than the fraction with the lesser denominator?
When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the higher denominator is less than the fraction with the lower denominator. The denominator indicates the size of the "parts" being shown as a fraction, and the higher the denominator, the smaller those parts are!
Can the denominator be a fraction?
YES a fraction can be a denominator.
