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.
Yes
look at the denominator see if it is the same as the other denominator or see if it is the same number at the bottom of each number.
No
equivalent to subtracting a negative
A whole number could be converted to a mixed number, but that might only be useful when subtracting a mixed number from a whole number. To change a whole number to a mixed number, simply take one away from the whole number and then change the 1 to a fraction that is equivalent to 1 (numerator and denominator are the same). For example 5 - 2 1/4. To subtract, you might want to change the 5 to 4 4/4. Then, you can subtract 1/4 from 4/4 to get 3/4 and 2 from 4 to get 2. The answer is 2 3/4.
Yes
In means calculating the difference between one mixed number and another mixed number.
when people subtract and when there done turn it in to a mixed number.
When doing sums with mixed numbers, it is often easier to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, do the sum and convert any resulting improper fraction back to a mixed number. This is especially true of division, but with subtraction, if the fraction part of the second mixed number is larger than the fraction part of the first mixed number (subtracting the second from the first), this will result in requiring borrowing from the whole number of the first mixed number. Using improper fractions avoids this complication and makes all sums easier.
Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed with the adding and subtracting.
you subtract mixed numbers by changing them to improper fractions. to borrow from a whole number you take away one like 5 changes to 4 and then you change look to the other mixed number your subtracting by and write its denominator as 4s denominator.
look at the denominator see if it is the same as the other denominator or see if it is the same number at the bottom of each number.
you do what makes sense given the numbers, if the fractions work out beautifully, you can just leave them as mixed numbers, otherwise it's best to keep them as improper fractions

math
To convert 6.75 to a mixed number, we first note that the whole number part is 6. The fractional part can be found by subtracting the whole number from the decimal: 6.75 - 6 = 0.75. Since 0.75 can be expressed as 75/100 or 3/4, the mixed number form of 6.75 is 6 3/4.
because you might get mixed up
