Fraction Operations and Concepts

In this video, Mr. J explains how to subtract fractions with unlike denominators. The tutorial covers two examples: subtracting 7/8 and 3/4, and subtracting 4/6 and 8/15. The process involves finding a common denominator, renaming the fractions, subtracting the numerators, and simplifying the result. Mr. J also provides links to additional resources for further learning.
