how can i subtract fractions when one denominator is not a multiple of the other denominator?
i can rewrite? fractions so that they have the same denominator subtract the fractions.
(options: one, both)

Explanation:

To subtract fractions with denominators that are not multiples of each other, you need to rewrite both fractions to have a common denominator (the least common denominator, which is 30 for 5 and 6 here). This allows you to subtract the numerators directly. Thus, the correct word is "both".

Answer:

both
