subtract a larger fraction from
a smaller fraction?_________

- 3 8 - 4 7

6 = 6 2
3 33 5 = 5 3
8 4 9
Can you regroup with unlike
denominators?
Sure, but first
find the LCD
and equivalent 8 x7
2 14 35
fractions. 9 1
3 x 7 21 21
Watch this! x3
- 5 5 15
7 x 3 21
20
3 21
Let’s see that again!
Remember,
first find the
LCD and 5 x4
2 8 28
equivalent 6 1
5 x 4 20 20
fractions.
x5
Watch this! - 3 3 15
4 x 5 20
13
2 20
How about these!
If you have a whole number, make a fraction with 0 in the
numerator and the same denominator the mixed number
has.
5 8
0 8 0 7
618 1
9 7 7
8
2 4
- 3 - 5 7
8
6 3
2 = 2 3 3
8 4 7

Then regroup as we have before!


Remember to simplify if you need to.
Now, you try!!!!

6 7 1 = 2 = 10 9 4 12 = 30
4
1 8 8 10 = 1
6 18 18
3 3 7 14
- 3 =
8 8 - 4 =
9 18
7 16 = 8
3 5 5 9
8 18
Your turn!!!!
8 14
0 6 0 9
916 1
15 9 9
6
2 4
- 1 - 6 9
