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.
change the mixed # into a fraction
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.
Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed.
Yes.
The easiest is to convert both mixed form numbers to improper fractions, do the subtraction (as normal1) and if the result is an improper fraction convert it to mixed form. 1 by converting the improper fractions to equivalent [improper] fractions with a common denominator and subtracting the resultant numerators.
Make them into improper fractions, find the least common denominator, convert them, subtract, reduce if possible.

To combine the fractions or subtract the fractions. Same method with mixed numbers.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed.

True
Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed.
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.
First, turn the fraction into a improper fraction. Then find a common denominator between the two numbers. After this, subtract strait across, but leave the denominator the same.
