Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{11}{22}$

The given fractions are $\frac{14}{22}$ and $\frac{3}{22}$.

They are like fractions because their denominator is the same.

When we subtract like fractions their denominator remains the same while their numerator is subtracted.

$\therefore \frac{14}{22}-\frac{3}{22}=\frac{14-3}{22}=\frac{11}{22}$
