Subtract Mixed Numbers With Common Denominators

Example

15 9/27 - 11 2/27= 4 7/27

Lesson

To do this kind of probolem first subtract the whole numbers. In the probolem above your awnser would be 4. Next subtract the fractions above it would be 7/27. Next put them together like 4 7/27. That is your awnser.

You made a mistake in your lesson. You said that the first step is to subtract the whole numbers. The first step is actually to subtract the fractions. Other than that, your post was short and to the point.
