You divide the numerator by the denominator (integer division). Write the integer result as a whole number, and the remainder in the numerator, without changing the denominator. Example: convert 11/3. Dividing 11 by 3 gives you 3, with a remainder of 2. So, the result is 3 2/3.

How can you subtract mixed numbers when the fraction in the first mix number is less than the fraction in the second mixed number?
Yes, you can but you need to "rename" the whole part of the first mixed number.
How do you rename a fraction in a mixed number?
A mixed number can be changed into an improper fraction
How many different ways can you rename a whole number as a fraction?
mixed number
How do you rename a mixed number to a fraction?
To rename a mixed number to a fraction, you multiply the number outside the fraction by the denominator (the lower part of the fraction), and then you add that number to the numerator (higher number of the fraction). If you need to turn 2 3/4 into a fraction, you do this: 2*4=8, 8+3=11, so 2 3/4=11/4 as an improper fraction.
How do you rename a whole number or a mix number in simplest form?
Every whole number is already in simplest form. Simplest form only refers to the fraction part of a mixed number. Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
