Yes.

This is the same as asking for one rational number to be subtracted from another; to do this each rational number is made into an equivalent rational number so that the two rational numbers have the same denominator, and then the numerators are subtracted which gives a rational number which may possibly be simplified.

Yes. The sum, difference, product, and quotient (if the second number is not zero) of two rational numbers, are all rational.
