adding fractions applies but make sure that you always add the whole numbers to get your final answer. Sometime you might get a mixed number with an improper fraction, you must change the improper fraction to a mixed number. When you subtract mixed numbers, you sometimes may have to rename the whole number, just as you sometimes borrow from the next column when subtracting whole numbers When you borrow 1 from the whole number, the 1 must be changed to a fraction. To subtract a mixed number from a whole number, you have to borrow from the whole number.
