Subtracting Fractions with the Same Denominator Example : 3 4 − 1 4 = To solve a fraction problem, follow these steps: 1. Model the first fraction by dividing the box by the number in the denominator. Then, shade the boxes by the number in the numerator. 2. Next, subtract the second fraction by marking the number of boxes in the numerator. 3. Count the remaining shaded boxes to find the answer's numerator. The denominator stays the same. 4. Sometimes, you can simplify or reduce the fraction. For example, if half of the box is shaded, the fraction can be simplified. This means 2 4 = 1 2 . 3 4 − 1 4 = 2 4 = 1 2
