You already have the same denominators, so all you have to do is subtract the two numerators:
11/16 - 3/16
= (11 - 3)/16
= 8/16
Now divide top and bottom by 8, to reduce it to lowest terms:
= 1/2

11/16 - 3/16 = 8 16 = 1/2

denominators are the same so 11 -3 = 8
8/16 which can be simplified to 1/2

11/16-3/16.
-find the least common multiples for the denominators which is=16
-divide both denomenators by the L.C.M & multiply the results by the numerators.which will give you:11-3 8
------- =--- then you simplify it to the lowerst termand you will get
16 16
answer:half that is 1/2.
