It's difficult to explain, but I'll try. You have to find out the amount of times the denominator (bottom number) goes into the numerator (top number) that will give you the whole number part for a mixed numeral. You then get the remaining fraction and you put it next to your whole number. For example: 12/8, 8 goes into twelve once so now you have a 1, 4/8 is your remainder (what is left). You put that next to your whole number, and now you have 1 4/8, therefore, 12/8=1 4/8.
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.

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
