Subtract fractions with unlike denominators by transforming the fractions so that they have the like denominatorsMethod OneStart with listing out multiples of `3` and `10`Multiples of `3`:$$3\;\;6\;\;9\;\;12\;\;15\;\;18\;\;21\;\;24\;\;27\;\;\color{#004ec4}{30}\;\;33$$Multiples of `10`:$$10\;\;20\;\;\color{#004ec4}{30}\;\;40\;\;50$$The `LCD` of `3` and `10` is `30`Use the `LCD` as the denominator for both fractions then proceed with subtracting.`2/3-3/10` `=` $$\frac{2\times\color{#CC0000}{10}}{3\times\color{#CC0000}{10}}-\frac{3\times\color{#CC0000}{3}}{10\times\color{#CC0000}{3}}$$ Multiply each fraction so that their denominator becomes `30` `=` $$\frac{20}{\color{#004ec4}{30}}-\frac{9}{\color{#004ec4}{30}}$$ Subtract the numerators `=` $$\frac{11}{30}$$ Keep the same denominator `11/30`Method TwoFirst, multiply the two denominators. Use the product as a denominator for a new fraction.`2/3-3/10` `=` `☐/(3times10)` `=` `☐/30` To get the numerator, cross multiply the given addition problem and subtract the products.$$\frac{\color{#00880A}{2}}{\color{#9a00c7}{3}}-\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{3}}{\color{#00880A}{10}}$$ `=` $$\frac{(\color{#00880A}{2\times10})-(\color{#9a00c7}{3\times3})}{30}$$ `=` `(20-9)/30` `=` `11/30` `11/30` -
