The fraction model is broken up into twelve pieces and two of the pieces are shaded in. The numerator of the fraction tells us how many pieces should be shaded in, and the denominator tells us how many pieces the whole should be split up into.
Example Question #991 : Numbers And Operations
Ben washed of the windows and Jen washed
of them. How much more of the windows did Ben wash?
In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.
Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we subtract fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only subtract the numerator.
Example Question #57 : How To Subtract Fractions
Solve the following:
In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.
Now that we have common denominators, we can subtract the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.
Example Question #1 : Subtracting Mixed Numbers
Solve the following:
When we subtract mixed numbers, we subtract whole numbers by whole numbers and fractions by fractions.
Remember, when we are subtracting fractions we must have common denominators and we only subtract the numerators.
