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 and subtract mixed fractions?
You have to convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and find a common denominator.For example:If you want to subtract 3/4 from 10 2/3, you have to first convert the 10 2/3 to an improper fraction, which would be 32/3. Next you have to find the common denominator for both fractions. 3 x 4 = 12, so 12 is the lowest common denominator; therefore, 3/4 = 9/12 and 32/3 = 128/12.Now you can perform the operation:128/12 - 9/12 = 117/12; convert 117/12 to a mixed number by dividing 117 by 12, which is 9 with a remainder of 9; 117/12 becomes 9 9/12 or 9 3/4.
