Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.53 Subtract Fractions with Like Denominators Fluently skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A recipe had 47/60 cup of milk. It used 11/60 cup in sauce and 6/60 cup in dough. How much milk remained in simplest form?
Solution & Explanation:The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators and keep 60: 47/60 − 11/60 − 6/60 = 30/60. Simplify 30/60 to get 1/2.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which result is correct for 18/24 − 6/24 after simplifying, and why?
A1/2 because 18 − 6 = 12 and 12/24 simplifies to 1/2
B12/0 because 24 − 24 = 0
C3/4 because 18/24 simplifies first
D6/24 because only the smaller numerator remains
Solution & Explanation:Subtract the numerators and keep 24: 18/24 − 6/24 = 12/24. Then simplify to 1/2.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Find the simplified result of 63/72 − 27/72.
Solution & Explanation:The denominators are the same, so subtract the numerators and keep 72: 63/72 − 27/72 = 36/72. Simplify 36/72 to get 1/2.
