To perform the correct operation as to subtract numbers, make sure the denominators are the same, and then one can then subtract and remove a smaller number from the larger one.
This same method also holds true for adding fractions together as well.
Another way to subtract fractions is to convert them from fraction form to decimal form and then align the decimal points and subtract the values.
