Denominators — equal using the least common multiple
Subtract the numerators
Rewrite each fraction to it's equivalent fraction
with a denominator equal to the LCM = 30
Subtract their numerators again
Most Importantly don't forget to reduce your answer to the lowest term
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominators equal by using the concept of least common multiple, and Then subtract their numerators accordingly. Rewrite each fraction to it's equivalent fraction with a denominator equal to the LCM = 30, Then subtract their numerators. And Lastly, Make sure to reduce your answer to the lowest term.

Example:
2 3/4 + 3 1/2
Convert to Improper Fractions
How? Multiply denominator to the whole number then add it on the numerator then the denominator will stay the same
2 3/4 becomes 11/4 how? 4×2+3
3 1/2 becomes 7/2 how? 2×3+1
11/4 + 7/2
Find the LCD
LCD is 4
11/4 will be the same
7/2 becomes 14/4
11/4 + 14/4
25/4
Convert to Improper Fractions
6 1/4
