This video tutorial explains how to subtract fractions with the same denominators. It provides three examples: subtracting 7/8 from 5/8, 8/10 from 7/10, and 11/12 from 5/12. The key concept is that when subtracting fractions with the same denominator, the denominator remains unchanged, and only the numerators are subtracted. The video concludes with a question for viewers to identify any mistakes in the calculations.
