Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers

In this video, Mr. J explains how to subtract a fraction from a mixed number. The tutorial begins with setting up the problem by aligning the fractions and whole numbers vertically. Mr. J then demonstrates how to find the least common denominator by identifying the least common multiple of the denominators. The fractions are renamed using this common denominator, and the subtraction is performed. The video concludes with simplifying the result and presenting the final answer. This step-by-step guide helps viewers understand the process of subtracting fractions from mixed numbers.
