Subtracting Fractions with Like Denominators

This video tutorial by Mr. Stocks covers subtracting fractions with like denominators. It outlines three main steps: subtracting the numerators, keeping the denominator the same, and simplifying the result if necessary. The video provides examples, such as 3/4 minus 2/4 and 7/8 minus 3/8, to illustrate these steps. Additionally, practice problems are presented for viewers to solve, followed by solutions and explanations. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of simplification and concludes with a recap of the key points.
