A mixed number is a mixed fraction of the form ab/c where a, b and c are positive integers with b < c.
Such a fraction is equivalent to (ac + b)/c and, since a > 0, then ac + b > c. Thus the numerator of the fraction in this form is greater than the denominator. A fraction in this form is called improper, top-heavy or vulgar.

How do you subtract mixed form by another mixed form?
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.
How is the multiplying mixed numbers different from multiplying fractions?
Multiplying mixed numbers involves first converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions, while multiplying fractions directly uses the fractions in their given form. After conversion, the process for both is the same: multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. The final step when dealing with mixed numbers includes converting the improper fraction back to a mixed number if needed. This added step distinguishes the two processes.
