How do you add or subtract unlike fraction as a mixed numbers in simplest?
I think that the easiest way is probably (1) to convert to improper fractions, (2) then get a common denominator, (3) add or subtract, (4) reduce, and finally (5) convert back to a mixed number. That isn't what you are taught in school. In school you would (1) go straight to the common denominator then (2) see if it is possible to subtract, you don't have as many difficulties to consider in addition, then (3) you may have to 'borrow' 1 from a whole number and turn it into a fraction to make the denominator large enough to subtract, (4) subtract the whole numbers and subtract the fractions, (5) reduce the fraction as needed. In addition you just (1) get a common denominator (2) add whole numbers and fractions (3) reduce the fraction and in some problems change it into a proper fraction and increase the whole number.
How do you subtract a smaller fraction by a bigger fraction?

How do you subtract mixed fractions with different denominators?
You change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction . Then you find the denominators GCF. Then you subtract. Another reply: Converting to an improper fraction is not really necessary, but converting to a common denominator is. Example: 3 1/2 - 1 1/3 = 3 3/6 - 1 2/6 = 2 1/6. In other words, you can subtract the integer part and the fraction part separately.

How do you we subtract fraction with whole numbers?
either convert the fraction into a decimal or the integer into a fraction. For example if you were attempting to subtract 1/3 from 2, you could either turn 1/3 into 0.3 repeating (by dividing 1 into three) or by turning 2 into 6/3, by placing the denominator from the fraction below the whole number, than multiplying the whole number by its new denominator, thus effectively converting it into a fraction. To subtract 1/3 from 6/3, simply subtract 1 from 6, and keep the denominator (5/3). If you opted to convert the fraction into a decimal earlier, simply subtract the 0.3 repeating from the 2, thinking of the 2 as its other representative, 2.0 repeating, solving to 1.6 repeating (ending eventually in an imaginary 7)
