Convert them to improper fractions and proceed.
The same way you would add or subtract whole numbers, leaving the denominators alone.
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.
When you add or subtract fractions with like denominators, you just add or subtract the numerators and put them over the same denominator. For example, 3/5 - 2/5 = (3 - 2)/5 = 1/5
you cant divide mixed numbers
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed.
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.

you subtract the top 2 numbers and then leave the denominators the same like: 7/8-4/8=3/8. Get it?
No
you make them have like denominators by multiplying so many times that they have the same denominators or you can make them have like denominators by multiplying the two
Subtract the numerators as we normally subtract them and then divide the resultant by the denominator. It's just simple like that.
You first find equivalent fractions whose denominators are a common multiple of the different denominators. Teachers like you to use the least common denominator: that is not necessary although it can result in your working with smaller numbers and so make things easier.
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
No. You just have to change it so the denominators are the same, and then it's easy from there!
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
