How do you subtract fractions with unlike denominators?

• Find a common denominator, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator, and then subtract the numerators.

• Simply subtract the numerators and denominators directly.

• Multiply the denominators and then subtract the numerators.

What is the least common denominator (LCD)?

• The largest multiple that two or more denominators share.

• The smallest multiple that two or more denominators share.

• The sum of two denominators.

• The difference between two denominators.

What is the importance of finding a common denominator?

• It allows you to accurately add or subtract fractions by ensuring that the fractions are expressed in terms of the same whole.

• It simplifies fractions to their lowest terms.

• It helps in converting fractions to decimals easily.

• It allows for the multiplication of fractions without changing their values.
