Sagot :

to subtract dissimilar fractions with whole numbers:
STEP 1:rename the number as a mixed number. Use the denominator to make the fraction similar to the fraction in the subtrahend.
Example: 2=1 + 10/10 = 1 10/10

Example: 1 10/10 - 6/10 = 4/10

STEP 3:bring down the whole number.
Example: 1 10/10 - 6/10 = 1 4/10

Its up to you if you transform it back into a proper or mixed number but this is what we usually do on High School. Please rate this as the brainliest answer...
