SUBTRACTING FRACTIONS AND MIXED NUMBERS
To find the difference of fractions, we subtract. We will first explore subtracting fractions using fraction bars for fractions with like and unlike denominators. Using fraction bars helps us to understand the meaning of subtraction of fractions. We will then practice subtracting fractions with paper and pencil.
Next we'll look at subtracting mixed fractions using fraction bars and then practice subtracting mixed fractions with paper and pencil.
Sometimes we must borrow to subtract mixed fractions. To borrow we will first look at subtracting mixed fractions from whole numbers using fraction bars and then practice subtracting mixed fractions from whole numbers with paper and pencil.
On some occasions the mixed fraction from which that we are subtracting includes a fraction that is smaller than the mixed fraction we are subtracting. To understand this borrowing process, we will first look at subtracting mixed fractions with borrowing using fraction bars and then practice subtracting mixed fractions with borrowing with paper and pencil.
