The same way you would add or subtract whole numbers, leaving the denominators alone.
The denominators need to be the same for subtraction. Find the Least Common Denominator for both items and then subtract.
The denominators must be the same before you can add or subtract fractions.
It stays the same. Only the numerators change.
Because to add fractions, the denominators must be equal.
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.

If the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and subtract the numerators.
No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
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.
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
Subtract as if there were no denominators.

You first have to convert the fractions so that the denominators are the same.
multiply the fractions until they have common denominators and then subtract them
No, the denominators have to be the same.
No. You just have to change it so the denominators are the same, and then it's easy from there!
