When subtracting fractions, if the numbers on the bottom are not the same, you must multiply them. 9 x 4 = 36

Then subtract the top numbers as usual.

Good luck!

it is D, because you have to get the denomenator"s equal so 9 times 4 is 36 and you take the numerator's and times by the other's denominator then subtract them to get 5/36
