Turn your mixed number into an inverted fraction. Put your whole number over 1. Find the common denominator which is the bottom number. Then you can subtract the top numbers and divide by the common bottom number. For example
If you have the mix number 4 2/3 to invert it take 3x4 which equals 12 and the 2 from the top which equals 14 and put it over the bottom number 3. Your inverted fraction is 14/3. If your whole number is 9, put it over 1. So your fraction is 9/1. find the common denominator which is 3. Multiply 3x9=27 and put 27/3. You can then take 27/3-14/3 = 13/3. You can turn this answer into a mixed number or a decimal.

How do your borrow from a whole number when subtracting fractions?
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.

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...
