#-10/33#

Explanation:

Subtract the numerators keeping the same denominator

#20/33-30/33 = -10/33 = -0.dot3dot0#

See below.

Explanation:

All you really have to do is subtract the numerators if the denominators are the same, which they are. You wouldn't subtract the denominators though.
So, #20# #-# #30# #=# #-10#
So your final answer would be #-10# over #-33#.

Hope it helped (:
