| Subtraction of Fractions with Same Denominator or Subtraction of Like Fractions Subtraction (Like Fractions) | Subtraction (Different Denominators) | Subtraction (Whole Number and Fraction) | Subtraction(Mixed Fraction) | Explanation
When we have to subtract fractions with same denominators(or subtract like fractions), we simply subtract the numerators and denominator remains same.
e.g. (5/3) - (1/3)
In the given example the denominators of both the fraction are same i.e 3, so we subtract the numerators and denominator is kept commom we get:
(5 - 1) / 3 = 4/3
Following are some more examples of Subtraction of Fractions with Same Denominator.
Example = 1 Subtract 10/2 from 15/2.
Answer = (15/2) - (10/2)
In the given fractions the denominators are same, so subtraction proceed as :
Subtract the numerators and denominator is kept common and we get:
= (15 - 10) / 2
Solve the Parentheses and we get :
= 5 / 2.
Example = 2 Subtract 10/11 from 8/11 and
Answer = (8/11) - (10/11)
In the given fractions the denominators are same, so subtraction proceed as :
Subtract the numerators and denominator is kept common and we get:
= (8 - 10) / 11
Solve the Parentheses and we get :
= -2 / 11.
Example = 3 Solve (29/100) - (28/100).
Answer = In the given fractions the denominators are same, so subtraction proceed as :
Subtract the numerators and denominator is kept common and we get:
= (29 - 28) / 100
Solve the Parentheses and we get :
= 1 / 100
