Adding and Subtracting Fractions

Find the difference:
$$\frac{3}{5}\ -\frac{1}{2}$$

Find the sum

$$\frac{3}{11}-\frac{1}{11}$$  

Once I have completed adding or subtracting fractions, I should always ____________ if possible.

$$6\ \frac{2}{4\ }-2\ \frac{2}{5}=$$  
Reduce if needed.

$$3\ \frac{5}{8}\ +6\ \frac{1}{2}\ =$$  

Answer in simplest form.

$$4\ \frac{2}{5}\ -\ 3\ \frac{4}{5\ }\ =$$  

$$6\ \frac{1}{4}\ -\ 3\ \frac{2}{4\ }\ =$$
