convert the mixed into improper and find their LCM and subtract
For example:
If you want to subtract 3/4 from 10 2/3, you have to first convert the 10 2/3 to an improper fraction, which would be 32/3. Next you have to find the common denominator for both fractions. 3 x 4 = 12, so 12 is the lowest common denominator; therefore, 3/4 = 9/12 and 32/3 = 128/12.
Now you can perform the operation:
128/12 - 9/12 = 117/12; convert 117/12 to a mixed number by dividing 117 by 12, which is 9 with a remainder of 9; 117/12 becomes 9 9/12 or 9 3/4.

How do you subtract dissimilar mixed fraction?
To subtract dissimilar mixed fractions, first convert each mixed fraction into an improper fraction. Next, find a common denominator for the improper fractions. Once you have a common denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Finally, if needed, convert the result back into a mixed fraction.

What is a subtracting mixed number?
Subtracting a mixed number is just subtracting fractions but with a whole number by a fraction. To subtract tun the mixed numbers into improper fractions and find the common denominator. Then you subtract the numerators.
How do you take away mixed numbers?
To subtract mixed numbers, first separate the whole numbers from the fractions. Subtract the whole numbers, and then subtract the fractions. If the fraction from the first mixed number is smaller than the fraction from the second, convert one whole from the first mixed number into a fraction (by adding 1 or 1/1 to the fraction) to make the subtraction possible. Finally, simplify the result if necessary.

How do you add and subtract mixed numbers?
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.
