how to subtract a larger mixed fraction from a smaller one?
152464
Change the mixed number (with 1 as the whole number) into an improper fraction. Subtract the whole number of the smaller mixed number from the whole number of the new larger mixed number. If the proper fractions have similar denominators, subtract the numerators directly and remain the denominator as it is.

Subtracting mixed fractions? You could first convert each to an improper fraction. If they don't have common denominators, then find a common denominator and use it to rewrite each fraction. Then, subtract the fractions and simplify.

The smaller denominator will give a larger fraction. Another method for comparing is to think of the fractions. In this example it is obvious that 1/3 is smaller than 7/8. For one thing, 1/3 is smaller than 1/2 and 7/8 is larger than 1/2.

A negative fraction subtracted from another is the same thing as adding the positive complement of that fraction. Make the denominators (the bottom of the fraction) the same, if they are not already. You can only add halves to halves or quarters to quarters or tenths to tenths and so on.

Subtracting mixed numbers works much the same way as adding mixed numbers. To subtract mixed numbers, subtract the whole number parts of the mixed numbers and then subtract the fraction parts in the mixed numbers. Finally, combine the whole number answer and the fraction answer to express the answer as a mixed number.

Subtract, don't add, the fractions. The correct answer is . Subtracting mixed numbers works much the same way as adding mixed numbers. To subtract mixed numbers, subtract the whole number parts of the mixed numbers and then subtract the fraction parts in the mixed numbers.

For example, 1 5/8 and 3 2/3 are both mixed numbers. Usually, a mixed number is the simplest way to express an improper fraction, in which the numerator or top number is bigger than the denominator, or bottom number.

Subtracting mixed numbers from whole numbers requires you to change the whole number into a mixed number, making sure to give the fractions the same common denominator. Finally, subtract the whole numbers from each other and then the numerators of the fractions from each other and you are all done.

Subtraction of negative fractions follows the same method. Thus, if the negative fractions you are adding do not have the same denominator, you can make it so. -1/2, for example, can be written as -2/4, -3/6, -4/8, et cetera. In each case, the number at the top is always half the number at the bottom.

If the fraction parts of a mixed number have the same denominator and if we are subtracting a smaller fraction from a larger fraction, then the subtraction is straightforward: subtract the fractions and then subtract the whole numbers.

Write both fractions as equivalent fractions with a denominator of 15. Since you're trying to subtract a larger fraction from a smaller one, you need to "borrow" a one from the integer 4, change it to 15/15, and add it to the fraction. Now the problem becomes 3 20/15 minus 3 9/15 and the answer is 11/15.
