Notice that you should borrow only after you have identified a common denominator. (You borrowed 1 in the form of from the 1's column.) Note:When you borrow 1 from the whole number, the 1 must be changed to a fraction. 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. In that case, you must change the improper fraction to a mixed number and combine it with the sum of the integers. Sometimes, you may end up with a mixed number that includes an improper fraction. To add mixed numbers, the same rule as in adding fractions applies (find the LCD), but make sure that you always add the whole numbers to get your final answer. But also note the differences and the reminders given in this section. You will notice that the steps in adding and subtracting mixed numbers are similar.
