Ok, first you have to make all the fractions mixed numbers. Which means that there isn`t any whole number like 12 or 6. So get 12 and multiply it by 11 and add five. The answer will be 137. So the first faction will be a positive 137/11. The next fraction should have the same thing done to it. Multiply 6 by 11 and add 7. The answer will be 73. The fraction will be -73/11. \r

\n" ); document.write( "137/11 - 73/11 When subtracting or adding fractions, don`t do anything to the denominators. So the problem is like 137 - 73. Then put the answer over 11. Once completing this you should recieve your answer. Go down further for my answer to the problem....\r
