Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers

The document provides instructions for converting mixed numbers to improper fractions. It gives examples of multiplying the whole number by the denominator, adding that to the numerator, and writing the improper fraction over the same denominator. Later examples show how to subtract fractions by finding a common denominator and converting to equivalent fractions before subtracting. The document encourages the reader to try some subtraction examples on their own.

Sure, but first
find the LCD
