to convert a mixed fraction into simple fraction , we have to follow through following steps
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "Add that to the numerator
\n" ); document.write( "Write that result on top of the denominator
\n" ); document.write( "so 12 2/5 = [ 12*5 +2]/5 = [60+2]/5 = 62/5
\n" ); document.write( "1 3/5 = [1*5+3]/5 = [ 5+3]/5 = 8/5
\n" ); document.write( " 12 2/5- 1 3/5 = (62/5)-(8/5)
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%2862%2F5%29+%29-%288%2F5%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+62%2F5+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+62%2F5+%29-%288%2F5%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"62%2F5-highlight_red%28+%288%2F5%29+%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+-8%2F5+%29\"
It becomes \"62%2F5-highlight_green%28+8%2F5+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+62%2F5+%29-highlight_red%28+8%2F5+%29\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+54%2F5+%29\".
Result: \"54%2F5\"
