Convert any mixed numbers to improper fractions. Once you have a fraction (proper or improper) do the division. 2/4 = 2 divided by 4 = 0.5
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.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed. The answer will be positive.
Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed.
To find a volume you usually need to multiply values together. When working with mixed numbers it is usually easier to convert them into improper fractions, do the calculations and convert any resulting improper fraction into a mixed number. So you don't need to use either format, it's just that improper fractions are easier to manipulate.

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed normally.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed. The answer will be positive.
Convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. In actually adding mixed numbers, it is easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper (top heavy) fractions, do the addition, simplify the resulting fraction and convert any resulting improper fraction back into a mixed number.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed the same way you would multiply two fractions.

convert into a mixed number.
First convert the mixed numbers into "top heavy (or "improper) fractions". Now multiply each of the improper fractions by each other - this makes the denominators the same. Now you can add both the fractions together (and cancel down if necessary).
