Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Subtracting Mixed Numbers Worksheets
It seems like you've uploaded an image containing a worksheet for subtracting mixed numbers. Since the image itself isn't directly visible in this format, I'll provide a general explanation of how to solve problems involving the subtraction of mixed numbers, along with examples. If you can describe or transcribe any specific problem from the worksheet, I can tailor the solution accordingly.

General Steps for Subtracting Mixed Numbers:


1. Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions (if necessary).
2. Ensure Common Denominators for the fractions.
3. Subtract the Numerators while keeping the denominator the same.
4. Simplify the Result if possible.
5. Convert Back to a Mixed Number if needed.

Example Problem:


Let's solve a typical problem from such a worksheet:
$$
7 \frac{3}{4} - 2 \frac{1}{3}
$$

#### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions
- For $7 \frac{3}{4}$:
$$
7 \frac{3}{4} = 7 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7 \times 4}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{28}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{31}{4}
$$

- For $2 \frac{1}{3}$:
$$
2 \frac{1}{3} = 2 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}
$$

So, the problem becomes:
$$
\frac{31}{4} - \frac{7}{3}
$$

#### Step 2: Ensure Common Denominators
The denominators are 4 and 3. The least common denominator (LCD) is 12. Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 12:
- For $\frac{31}{4}$:
$$
\frac{31}{4} = \frac{31 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{93}{12}
$$

- For $\frac{7}{3}$:
$$
\frac{7}{3} = \frac{7 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{28}{12}
$$

Now the problem is:
$$
\frac{93}{12} - \frac{28}{12}
$$

#### Step 3: Subtract the Numerators
Since the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators:
$$
\frac{93}{12} - \frac{28}{12} = \frac{93 - 28}{12} = \frac{65}{12}
$$

#### Step 4: Simplify the Result
$\frac{65}{12}$ is already in simplest form as a fraction.

#### Step 5: Convert Back to a Mixed Number
Convert $\frac{65}{12}$ back to a mixed number:
$$
65 \div 12 = 5 \text{ remainder } 5
$$
So,
$$
\frac{65}{12} = 5 \frac{5}{12}
$$

Final Answer:


$$
\boxed{5 \frac{5}{12}}
$$
