This document provides steps for subtracting fractions with unlike denominators: first rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with like denominators, then subtract the whole numbers, and finally subtract the fractions.

1. Finally we simplify
if we need to.
With that, we’re
done.
Now we subtract
our fractions.
If we need to
regroup, we do
that now.
First we rewrite our
fractions as equivalent
fractions with like
denominators.
Next we subtract
our whole
numbers.
