Subtract one fraction from another using the formula $\\dfrac{a}{b}-\\dfrac{c}{b}=\\frac{\\boxed{a}-\\boxed{c}}{\\boxed{b}}=\\frac{\\boxed{a-c}}{\\boxed{b}}$.

\n

An example of a correct calculation would be $\\dfrac{1}{2}-\\dfrac{3}{2}=\\frac{\\boxed{1}-\\boxed{3}}{\\boxed{2}}=\\frac{\\boxed{-2}}{\\boxed{2}}$.

\n

Note the final fraction should be left as it is and should not be entered in lowest form (if this is different).
