EzraIn order to subtract one fraction from another one, both of them need to have
the same denominator. So one of these has to change.
Change "1 half" to "4 eighths". When you do that, you don't actually 'change'
anything. "4 eighths" is exactly the same amount as "1 half". You're just writing
it in a different way.
Now that your fractions both have the same denominator, the problem is
"4 of something" minus "1 of the same thing". Surely you can do the rest.

How do you find the reciprocal of one and a half?
The reciprocal is the number flipped upside down, but one and a half is different. First, you times the 2 in half by the 1 whole and add 1 from the half (thats to find the improper fraction). This will now equal 3/2. flip 3/2 over and you have 2/3.
