Answer:
When solving fractions with different denominators, you first need to make the denominators the same.
Example:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] -[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
You need to make sure the denominators are the same.
Can 2 get multiply by something and will be 4?
The answer is yes, if you multiply 2 by 2, it will change the 2 to 4. You have to multiply the equation [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{4}{4}[/tex] (which is also equivalent to 1) and which change the equation to [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex].
And now you can subtract because the denominators are the same.
