✓
Answer
Let $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}$ and $\frac{\text{c}}{\text{d}}$ represent rational numbers.
Now, we have:$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}-\frac{\text{c}}{\text{d}}=\frac{\text{ad}-\text{bc}}{\text{bd}}$
$\frac{\text{c}}{\text{d}}-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{\text{bc}-\text{ad}}{\text{bd}}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}-\frac{\text{c}}{\text{d}}\neq\frac{\text{c}}{\text{d}}-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}$
