c. Abstraction
Discuss the student how to subtract dissimilar fractions.

Subtracting Dissimilar Fractions

 Step 1 – Determine the LCM denominator values
 Step 2 – Convert the denominator to the LCM value by multiplying
the numerator and denominator using the same number.
 Step 3 – Subtract the numerators once the fractions have the same
denominators value.
 Step 4 – Simplify the fraction, if required.
 Example:
2 3
Subtract from
3 5

Solution:
3 2
Given -
5 3

Find the LCM of 3 and 5. The LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.

To make the denominators value equal, convert the denominator s

value.
Thus,
3 2 9 10
- = -
5 3 15 15

Now, the denominators are equal, and we can subtract the numerators
value.
3 2 9 10 9−10 1
- = - = =-
5 3 15 15 15 15

3 2 1
Therefore, - =-
5 3 15

d. Application
