Subtracting unlike fractions

 

This task is about subtracting unlike fractions. The hard part was, that  I had to do was finding fractions that both the denominator fit in. Unlike or unlikely fractions is when two fractions look different( hints the name unlike or unlikely). Unlike fractions shows like 16/25 – 2/4, for there you must find LCM or HCM to convert each fraction, so it is able to find the answer.In the end it got easier to find LCM(Low Common Multiple)  or HCM (Hight Common Multiple)  that both fractions can fit in. I was also asked Mr Math teacher for help when it got really tough.
