PROBLEM VII, 

 ^<7 subtract one fractional quantity from another^ 



RULfi. 



1. Reduce the fractions to a common denominator, as 

 in addition.* 



2. Subtract one numerator from the other, and under 

 their difference write the common denominator, and it will 

 give the difference of the fractions required. 



EXAMPLES. 



I. To find the difference of — and — . 



3 " 



Here 



2X\ 



v^ ^ > the numerators. 



ixY, 3 = 6x^ 



And 3X1 1 = 33 the common denominator. 



Therefore 



* The same rule may be observed for mixed quantities in sub- 

 traction as in addition.
