Answer 1

3/40. Here is a link to a really simple explanation (a lot better than I could do). https://www.mathsisfun.com/fractions_subtraction.html

Answer 2

Thank you @Allenismyname That was a big help. But does it show how to do it on a number line?

Not on a number line. It is easier to just perform the equation itself, plus I am not solid on the logistics of subtracting different fractions on a number line

I agree. But my assignments wants me to do it on a number line. Sadly.
