The way you subtract mixed numbers is you need to turn the mixed numbers into just fractions, the way you do that is times the denominator by the mixed number, than you add the top you do that to both fractions, but remember don't change the denominator! Then you need to find the same denominators by finiding the factor that they both have... once you finish that you can subtract and you will be finished~ Hope this helps :)
