1. $\frac{6}{11} - \frac{4}{11} = \frac{6 - 4}{11} = \frac{2}{11}$



2. $\frac{9}{10} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{9 - 2}{10} = \frac{7}{10}$



3. $\frac{7}{14} - \frac{2}{14} = \frac{7 - 2}{14} = \frac{5}{14}$



4. $\frac{7}{19} - \frac{6}{19} = \frac{7 - 6}{19} = \frac{1}{19}$



5. $\frac{12}{20} - \frac{5}{20} = \frac{12 - 5}{20} = \frac{7}{20}$



6. $\frac{13}{25} - \frac{5}{25} = \frac{13 - 5}{25} = \frac{8}{25}$



7. $\frac{9}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{9 - 3}{12} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$


*(Simplified: divide numerator and denominator by 6)*

8. $\frac{21}{22} - \frac{19}{22} = \frac{21 - 19}{22} = \frac{2}{22} = \frac{1}{11}$


*(Simplified: divide numerator and denominator by 2)*

9. $\frac{13}{14} - \frac{4}{14} = \frac{13 - 4}{14} = \frac{9}{14}$



10. $\frac{14}{18} - \frac{1}{18} = \frac{14 - 1}{18} = \frac{13}{18}$



11. $\frac{9}{17} - \frac{2}{17} = \frac{9 - 2}{17} = \frac{7}{17}$



12. $\frac{27}{31} - \frac{9}{31} = \frac{27 - 9}{31} = \frac{18}{31}$



13. $\frac{20}{26} - \frac{9}{26} = \frac{20 - 9}{26} = \frac{11}{26}$



14. $\frac{25}{29} - \frac{10}{29} = \frac{25 - 10}{29} = \frac{15}{29}$

🔍 Explanation:


When subtracting fractions with like denominators (same bottom number), you simply subtract the numerators (top numbers) and keep the denominator unchanged. After that, simplify the result if possible.

For example:
$$
\frac{a}{b} - \frac{c}{b} = \frac{a - c}{b}
$$

Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
