Subtracting mixed numbers from whole numbers involves a few steps.
Here’s how you can do it:
1: Convert the whole number to a fraction: Write the whole number as a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction in the mixed number.
2: Subtract the fractions: Subtract the fraction part of the mixed number from the fraction representing the whole number.
3: Combine the whole number part: Subtract the whole number part of the mixed number from the whole number you started with.
Let’s go through an example:
Example
Subtract ( 2 whole 3/4 ) from ( 5 ).
Convert the whole number to a fraction:
( 5 ) can be written as 20/4
(because ( 5 = 20/4).
Subtract the fractions:
Subtract 3/4 from 20/4
20/4 - 3/4
= (20 - 3)/4
= 17/4
]Combine the whole number part:
Since we only have a fraction left (no whole number part),
the final answer is 17/4 or
( 4 whole 1/4} if you convert it back to a mixed number.
