7. Add / Subtract Mixed Numbers Subtracting 1. Get common denominator and make equivalent fractions 2. Borrow “1” if needed 3. Number – number, fraction – fraction 4. Reduce if needed Borrowing “1” : When subtracting fractions, after getting a common denominator and making equivalent fractions, if the first numerator is smaller then the 2 nd numerator, you need to borrow. When borrowing using fractions you WILL ALWAYS borrow one in terms of your denominator.
