To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To subtract fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then subtract and simplify.

To add or subtract these rational numbers, you first need to change your rational numbers so that they share a common denominator. Once you have a common denominator, you can then go ahead with the addition or subtraction of just the numerator part.

Then, adjust the fractions to have like denominators by multiplying the new fraction by the denominator of the original fraction. Subtract the numerators of the two numbers, and convert the answer to a mixed number if necessary. Remember to reduce the fraction if possible or divide it into a whole number.

Student response: addition. "We will add the fractions." I explain to the students that in order to add fractions with like denominators, all we have to do is add the numerator, which is the top number. If you are subtracting fractions with like denominators, you just subtract the top numbers.

To subtract fractions from whole numbers, convert the whole number to a fraction by putting it over 1. Then, adjust the fractions to have like denominators by multiplying the new fraction by the denominator of the original fraction.

Subtract the whole number of the smaller mixed number from the whole number of the new larger mixed number. If the proper fractions have similar denominators, subtract the numerators directly and remain the denominator as it is.

To subtract Polynomials, first reverse the sign of each term we are subtracting (in other words turn "+" into "-", and "-" into "+"), then add as usual.
