Because if you have the same denominator then you don't have to find the common denominator.
When adding or subtracting fractions with the same denominator, it is easier because we can simply add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. The denominators are already equal, so no additional calculations or adjustments are necessary. This simplifies the math and makes it easier to compute the result.
Change the whole number into an improper fraction with the same denominator as the fraction and then subtract accordingly
In the same way that you would answer a fraction subtract another fraction. The result could be either positive or negative, just as is the case with negative whole numbers.
First you would want to change the mixed number to an improper fraction. Then you can subtract
You first have to convert the fractions so that the denominators are the same.
If the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction simplifies to 1. And you should be able to subtract 1!
If you make the donominator the same you will add the numberator but not the dinominator
Common denominator refers to an equation that involves two fractions that have the same number on the bottom portion of the fraction. Ex: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

First, turn the fraction into a improper fraction. Then find a common denominator between the two numbers. After this, subtract strait across, but leave the denominator the same.
I suppose you mean the fraction 4/5. Just subtract 1 - 4/5, which is the same as 5/5 - 4/5.I suppose you mean the fraction 4/5. Just subtract 1 - 4/5, which is the same as 5/5 - 4/5.I suppose you mean the fraction 4/5. Just subtract 1 - 4/5, which is the same as 5/5 - 4/5.I suppose you mean the fraction 4/5.

Subtracting a negative fraction is the same as adding its positive equivalent.
If you have common denominators, then you subtract the numerators of the fraction in the same way you do any other numbers. So yes you can borrow.
The numerator of the answer is the result of subtracting the numerators of the fractions, and the denominator of the fraction is the same as the common denominator.
