1/2 - 3/11

Set both denominators (bottom numbers) to 22, so multiply the numerator of 1/2 by 11, and multiply the numerator of 3/11 by 2.

1/2 is now 11/22

3/11 is now 6/22

So, our new question is now : 11/22 - 6/22

Because the denominators are the same, all you have to do is simplify the top numbers.

So, 11-6 = 5

Therefore, your answer is 5/22

~Hope I helped!~
