First change the whole number part of the mixed number into an improper fraction with the same denominator as the fraction part. You do this by multiplying the whole number by the fraction's denominator.
Example: 3 is equal to 9/3 or 12/4
Then add the numerator of the fraction to the numerator of the improper fraction, since they have the same denominators now.
Examples:
3 1/4 = (12/4 + 1/4) = 13/4
5 1/2 = (10/2 + 1/2) = 11/2
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the numerator, and put the total over the denominator.
You do the numerator divided by the denominator, then simplify the fractions if you can. (this is how you change a improper fraction to a mixed number, you cannot change a proper fraction to a mixed number)
If its not an improper fraction then you cant....

I don't think you can but, you can change an improper fraction to a decimal.
You do the numerator divided by the denominator, then simplify the fractions if you can. (this is how you change a improper fraction to a mixed number, you cannot change a proper fraction to a mixed number)
First you would want to change the mixed number to an improper fraction. Then you can subtract
You change it into an improper fraction, then simplify it, then if you want to, change it back to a mixed number.
If its not an improper fraction then you cant....
You change them into improper or topheavy fractions.

I wouldconvert both to improper fraction,find a common multiple (CM),calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,add the numerators,change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.

You don't.
change it to an improper fraction and then divide it
