Subtracting Mixed Numbers

The video tutorial explains how Maya uses 5 1/4 feet of string to hang a bird feeder requiring 3 2/3 feet. It demonstrates subtracting mixed numbers by finding a common denominator and regrouping. The process involves visualizing mixed numbers, rewriting fractions, and performing subtraction to find that Maya has 1 7/12 feet of string left. The lesson focuses on understanding mixed numbers, common denominators, and regrouping in subtraction.
