Question

how do you subtract mixed numbers with a fraction by changing a mixed number to an improper fraction so you are subtracting the improper fraction?

Answer 1

do you have an example?

Answer 2

yes 1 1/3 - 1/3
you have to change the mixed number to an improper fraction and subtract by the other fraction

Answer 3

ok so to make the mixed number into an improper fraction you multiply the denominator by the 1 so 3(1)=3 then you add the numerator 3+1=4
1 1/3=4/3 now you can simply subtract
4/3-1/3=3/3 or 1
