You can always do that.
just change the fration with the smallest denominator and add or subtract the way you always do.
Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed.
change the mixed # into a fraction
Yes.

you take away one of the whole number=then you add or subtract your fractions=
they must have a common denominator

subtract a mixed fractor for a fifth grader
A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction. A fraction is a number that is less than whole and that has a denominator underneath a numerator. To add or subtract mixed numbers, add or subtract the fractions, then add or subtract the whole numbers. If the fraction portion of a mixed number, such as 2 5/6, is more than the fraction portion of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from, such as 3 1/6, you must borrow from the whole number of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from to make its fraction bigger...

Yes.
SUBTRACTION: You first turn both mixed numbers into improper fractions. If needed, change the denominators into like denominators. Next, subtract the two improper fractions and reduce if necessary. ADDITION: If needed, turn denominators so they are the same number. Next, add and reduce if necessary.
