To subtract a fraction from any other number, both numbers need to be converted to fractions with the same denominator.
So, to subtract 34/5 from 7 we need to convert both numbers to fractions with 5 as the denominator.....
a) 3 x 5 = 15.
b) 15 + 4= 19
c) 34/5 = 19/5
d) 7 x 5 = 35
e) 7 = 35/5
f) 35/5 - 19/5 = 16/5
g) 16 / 5 = 3 and 1 remainder
h) 16/5 = 31/5
So, the answer is
i) 7 - 34/5 = 31/5
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...

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 take away one of the whole number=then you add or subtract your fractions=
when you add mixed numbers you have a whole number but adding fraction does not.
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.

Yes, you can but you need to "rename" the whole part of the first mixed number.
You convert the mixed numeral into an improper fraction. Now subtract the improper fraction from the whole number by putting the whole number over 1.
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.
It will be either a mixed fraction or a proper fraction, positive or negative.
mixed numbers
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.
Turn the proper fraction into an improper fraction.
No.
You cannot. Whole numbers and mixed numbers are two different subsets of the set of numbers.
Mixed numbers contain whole numbers and fractions
