how do you subtract an improper fraction from a whole number?
11690
When subtracting fractions from whole numbers, you need to change the whole number into a fraction. You then need to make a common denominator and then you can subtract the two numerators and you're all set.

To subtract fractions from whole numbers, convert the whole number to a fraction by putting it over 1. Then, adjust the fractions to have like denominators by multiplying the new fraction by the denominator of the original fraction.

Convert the mixed number 612 6 1 2 into an improper fraction first by multiplying the denominator (2) by the whole number part (6) and add the numerator (1) to get the new numerator. Place the new numerator (13) over the old denominator (2) .

To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To subtract fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then subtract and simplify. The LCM of 3 and 11 is 33 .

Then, adjust the fractions to have like denominators by multiplying the new fraction by the denominator of the original fraction. Subtract the numerators of the two numbers, and convert the answer to a mixed number if necessary. Remember to reduce the fraction if possible or divide it into a whole number.
