Subtraction of Mixed Fraction

Subtraction (Same Denominator) / Like Fractions

Subtraction (Different Denominators) / Unlike Fractions

Subtraction (Whole Number and Fraction)

Subtraction(Mixed Fraction)

Subtraction of Mixed Fractions can be done by two separate methods : Method 1 = Conversion of Mixed Fraction into Improper Fraction. Method 2 = Subtraction of Whole Numbers and Fractions separately. For Example : Solve : 2 2 5   -   1 1 5 Method 1 = Conversion of Mixed Fraction into Improper Fraction. ( How to convert mixed fraction to improper fraction ? ) 2 2 5 = 12 5 1 1 5 = 6 5 Now, subtract the improper fraction and we get: 12 5 - 6 5 Here, the denominators of both the fractions are same, so we apply -- Subtraction of Fraction with Same Denominator 12 - 6 5 = 6 5 Now, you can also convert the Improper Fraction into Mixed Fraction ( How to convert improper fraction to mixed fraction ? ) 6 5 = 1 1 5 Method 2 = Subtraction of Whole Numbers and Fractions separately. Subtraction of Whole Numbers = 2 - 1 = 1 Subtraction of Fractions = (2/5) - (1/5) Here, the denominators of both the fractions are same, so we apply -- Subtraction of Fraction with Same Denominator (2-1) 5 = 1 5 Now, Add Whole Number and Fraction and we get: 1 + 1 5 1 1 + 1 5 (because 1 = 1/1) {(1 × 5) + (1 × 1) } 5 {5 + 1} 5 = 6 5 Now, you can also convert the Improper Fraction into Mixed Fraction ( How to convert improper fraction to mixed fraction ? ) 6 5 = 1 1 5
