text: can you tell me a another way to work on mixed number problem's? i dont remermber how to do it i do know how to add them but not subtract them like 1 1/5-2 this is an example can you send me something to show me how to do it please!!!!!!!!!!! thanks i like to make them all improper fractions (for example, 1 1/5 = 6/5), then make sure the denominators match, subtract the numerators and reduce to the cleanest fraction...  so, in the case above 1 1/5 - 2  = 6/5 - 10/5 = -4/5
