\n" ); document.write( "The two fractions have to have the same denominator, change to 35th
\n" ); document.write( "3/7 = 15/35
\n" ); document.write( "4/5 = 28/35
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "19\"15%2F35\"
\n" ); document.write( "-8\"28%2F35\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the top numerator is smaller than the bottom numerator, we have to borrow
\n" ); document.write( "one from 19, in the form of 35/35th, add to the existing fraction, we have
\n" ); document.write( "18\"50%2F35\"
\n" ); document.write( "-8\"28%2F35\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------- easy subtraction now
