How to subtract mixed numbers by converting them to improper fractions

The video tutorial explains how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and subtract them. It covers two methods for solving the problem: subtracting whole numbers and fractions separately, or converting both to improper fractions. The tutorial demonstrates finding the least common denominator (LCD) to subtract fractions with different denominators and concludes with simplifying the result.

What is the first step in converting a mixed number to an improper fraction?

• Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator

• Add the numerator to the denominator

• Subtract the numerator from the denominator

• Divide the numerator by the whole number

When subtracting fractions with different denominators, what must you find?

• The greatest common factor

• The difference of the denominators

• The least common multiple

• The sum of the numerators

How do you adjust a fraction to have a new denominator?

• Subtract the same number from both the numerator and denominator

• Add the same number to both the numerator and denominator

• Divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number

• Multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number

What is the result of subtracting 35/16 from 92/16?

• 35/92

• 92/35

• 57/32

• 57/16

What should you check for after subtracting fractions to ensure the result is in its simplest form?

• If there are common factors between the numerator and denominator

• If the denominator is a prime number

• If the numerator is an even number

• If the numerator is larger than the denominator
