This is the same as recognizing and renaming according to place-value. On the whole number side, you have 1. On the less-than-whole side you have denominations of \"1%2F6\". CUT the 1 into \"6%2F6\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F6%2B5%2F6=11%2F6\".
\n" ); document.write( "Now, you can subtract \"5%2F6\" from \"11%2F6\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
