Subtract fractions and decimals quick check
In order to subtract fractions, you need to have a common denominator. If the denominators are not the same, you need to find a common denominator and then perform the subtraction.
For decimals, you can simply line up the decimal points and subtract as you would with whole numbers. Be sure to carry out any necessary borrowing from the next place value if needed.
