Answer:

When subtracting fractions you only subtract the numerators. So False

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to subtract fractions you have to find a common denominator between the fractions you are subtracting.

Example:

3/4 - 1/2 I have to find the common denominator which is 4.

So 3/4 satys the same but 1/2 turns into 2/4

So you problem would now look like this:

3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

Hope I helped:)

Have a great day!!!
