Turn the proper fraction into an improper 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 the whole number to a fraction with the same numerator and subtract: 3-4/5 3=15/5 15/5-4/5=11/5
Fractions help with numbers that are not whole numbers.
Mixed fractions can't become whole numbers.
To add and subtract fractions, first ensure they have a common denominator by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator unchanged. For decimals, align the numbers by their decimal points, and then perform the addition or subtraction as you would with whole numbers. Lastly, ensure to simplify the result if necessary, especially for fractions.
Simplify them.
you take away one of the whole number=then you add or subtract your fractions=
add? dont you mean subtract?
True
The same way you would add or subtract whole numbers, leaving the denominators alone.

turn the whole number into an inproper fraction by doing this: multiply it by the denominator of the fraction.that answer is your numerator make the fractions denominator the whole number's denominator.then subtract just the numerators.you should have an improper fraction as your final answer, so turn that into a mixed number.
No. All fractions are not whole numbers, but all whole numbers are [improper] fractions (with a denominator of 1).
You cant
