SUBTRACTING MIXED FRACTIONS

[tex]__________________________[/tex]

[tex]\sf 12 \frac{3}{10} - \frac{5}{10}[/tex]

Change 12 3/10 to an improper fraction

[tex]\sf = \frac{123}{10} - \frac{5}{10}[/tex]

Since they are similar fractions we just have to subtract the numerator

[tex]\sf = \frac{118}{10}[/tex]

Next, we have to simplify 118/10

[tex]\sf = 11 \frac{4}{5}[/tex]
