Answer : To subtract mixed numbers, subtract the whole number parts of the mixed numbers and then subtract the fraction parts in the mixed numbers. Finally, combine the whole number answer and the fraction answer to express the answer as a mixed number. Subtract. Simplify the answer and write as a mixed number.
