Here's how to subtract 1/5 from 7/9:
7
9
−
1
5
Step 1
We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.
So we multiply 7 by 5, and get 35.
Then we multiply 1 by 9, and get 9.
Next we give both terms new denominators -- 9 × 5 = 45.
So now our fractions look like this:
35
45
−
9
45
Step 2
Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.
35 − 9 = 26
So the answer is:
26
45
