If a fraction have same denominators so we only subtract the numerator as 4-3 so we get
1/5 and put the same denominator

Subtracting fractions with a common denominator, you subtract only the numerator, which are 4 and 3, and keep the common denominator the same, underneath the fraction. It is just subtracting 4 and 3 and putting them in a fraction, just like 4-3
