How Do You Subtract Mixed Fractions with the Same Denominator?
Note:
Subtracting mixed fractions? If they have common denominators, then you can subtract the whole numbers and fractions separately. In this tutorial, take a look at subtracting mixed fractions!
Background Tutorials
-
Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
-
What's a Mixed Number?
Fractions come in all sorts of flavors, and in this tutorial you'll learn how to recognize mixed numbers.
-
-
Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p - q = p + (-q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.
-
How Do You Subtract Integers Using a Number Line?
Subtracting integers? You could use a number line to help find the answer! In this tutorial, see how to use a number line to subtract integers with the same sign and ones with opposite signs. Take a look!

How Do You Add Mixed Fractions with the Same Denominator?
Adding mixed fractions? If they have common denominators, then you can add the whole numbers and fractions separately. In this tutorial, take a look at adding together mixed fractions!

-
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators.

How Do You Subtract Mixed Fractions with Different Denominators by Regrouping?
Subtracting mixed fractions with unlike denominators? You could first find a common denominator and use it to rewrite each fraction. Then, subtract the whole numbers and fractions separately. In this tutorial, take a look at subtracting mixed fractions with unlike denominators!
-
How Do You Subtract Mixed Fractions with Different Denominators by Converting to Improper Fractions?
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. In this tutorial, take a look at subtracting mixed fractions with unlike denominators!
