How do you subtract mixed fractions?
convert them to Improper Fractionthen substract them (using substraction of Fractions)then convert back to Mixed Fractions.consider two mixed fractions, say, ab/c and xy/z.now u want ab/c - xy/z ?first convert mixed fractions to improper fractions.ab/c becomes, (ca+b)/c and xy/z becomes, (zx+y)/z.now, (ca+b)/c-(zx+y)/z is what we want.take LCM, {z(ca+b)-c(zx+y)}/czthis will be the answer.Example: What is 15 3/4 - 8 5/6 ?Convert to Improper Fractions: 15 3/4 = 63/48 5/6 = 53/6Common denominator of 12:63/4 becomes 189/1253/6 becomes 106/12Now Subtract:189/12 - 106/12 = 83/12Convert back to Mixed Fractions:83/12 = 6 11/12Converting improper fraction to mixed fraction:83/12 = (72+11)/12= 6 11/12Divide the numerator by the denominator.Write down the whole number answerThen write down any remainder above the denominator.
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
