The image provided shows two examples of how to subtract fractions: one with same denominators and one with different denominators. Since no specific problem was given to solve, I will demonstrate solving a similar problem for each case to reinforce understanding.

Case 1: Same Denominators
Problem: 4/7 - 2/7
Step 1: Keep the denominator (7) the same.
Step 2: Subtract the numerators: 4 - 2 = 2
Step 3: Write the result over the common denominator: 2/7
Answer: 2/7

Case 2: Different Denominators
Problem: 5/6 - 1/3
Step 1: Find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 3 is 6.
Step 2: Convert 1/3 to have denominator 6 → multiply numerator and denominator by 2 → 2/6
Step 3: Now subtract: 5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6
Step 4: Simplify if needed → 3/6 = 1/2
Answer: 1/2

Final Answer:
For same denominators: 4/7 - 2/7 = 2/7
For different denominators: 5/6 - 1/3 = 1/2
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of subtracting fractions with different denominators.
