How Do You Subtract Fractions with the Same Denominator?

Do not use the easiest but the first. The video shows a method to find a common denominator by finding the least common denominator to add fractions. By listing the multiples of the denominators, learners easily identify the least common...

RJ and Zoey are at camp and need to get back to the mess hall for lunch, but they don't know how far they have to walk. Help them figure out the distance while teaching young mathematicians how to add and subtract fractions with this...

Give students detailed instructions on how to find the Least Common Multiple as well as practice with this thorough introductory worksheet. Instructions for this worksheet include an explanation of both guess and check as well as prime...

The teacher draws a visual on the white board to show how to change a whole number into a fraction by borrowing. This is necessary because the original written fraction is too small to subtract the second fraction.

Combine fractions that have unlike denominators and a variable. As usual the variable needs to get isolated. Then find the least common denominator so you can combine the fractions. Finally put it all back together.

A detailed video tutorial on how to solve an equation with fractions with different denominators, this resource could prove to be a valuable tool. This video covers how to deal with fractions as well as how to solve an algebraic equation...

The first step in adding mixed numbers is to change them into improper fractions. Secondly, make sure the denominators are the same. If they are not the same, then find a common denominator. Make the proper conversions to the numerator...

You have an equation with an unknown variable and fractions. How do you solve this kind of equation? You can do it using the addition property of equality to first isolate the variable. Then, combine the fractions and since they have a...

Solve an equation that has fractions with common denominators. First step is to isolate the variable. In this equation, this can be done by using the subtraction property of equality. Now the variable is by itself but there are other...

The instructor explains that an improper fraction is one in which the numerator is greater than the denominator.
