You need common denominators. Then add or subtract the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction it is common practice to reduce it to a mixed number.
you can't add nor subtract mixed fractions so you need to turn it into a fraction, if you wanna turn a mixed fraction into a fraction you need to multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator, then you can multiply normally (make sure you simplify and turn it into a mixed fraction your answer)
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
To add or subtract mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions. Then, perform the addition or subtraction operation on the numerators while keeping the denominators the same. Next, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to lowest terms. Finally, if needed, convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number for the final answer.
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
you take away one of the whole number=then you add or subtract your fractions=

A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction. A fraction is a number that is less than whole and that has a denominator underneath a numerator. To add or subtract mixed numbers, add or subtract the fractions, then add or subtract the whole numbers. If the fraction portion of a mixed number, such as 2 5/6, is more than the fraction portion of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from, such as 3 1/6, you must borrow from the whole number of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from to make its fraction bigger...

it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.

Express the mixed fraction as an improper fraction and then proceed as you would with ordinary fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, then remember to convert to a mixed fraction.

You need a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.

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.
