When adding or subtracting fractions where the denominators are different. Convert the fractions to a common denominator.
Sometimes it is possible to operate on the integers separately to the fraction part but it is good practice to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.
3²/₅ - 1¼ = 17/5 - 5/4 The common denominator of 5 and 4 is 20.
(4 x 17) - (5 x 5) ÷ 20 = (68 - 25) ÷ 20 = 43/20
This can be converted to the mixed number 2 and 3/20
