4. Fo Suberact a Mixt Number from a WBole
Number.
First, Subtract etie Fractional pare trom Vnier,
borroned From che whole Number siven, and. ser
doin che Remainder; thien addins chie Integer
borro d, 10 ihe Integers oF che Mlixt Number,
Suberaet the Caid Sum trom che Whole Numiber;
and co che Remainder annex che Fractional Part

5. To. Subtract a Fraction from a Mixt Number.
r. IF che Fraction siven, be lels thanthe Fracti-

Fraction From the Fractional parr, and annex che
Remainders io the Inteser parr oF the MixI, and
ris done.
Thus : Trom 63, leaves 62.
2. Dur irhen etie Fraction given, is greater chan
the Fractional parc oF the Mixc Number:
Subiract che Fraction From Vnier, and add che
Remainder co che Fractional pare oP che NIXE
Number; ehen lessenine che Inceeral parr ot
the Mixc Number by Onicy, aunex che Fractional
Pare (las Foune) co ic.
Thus Trom 6 3 leares 55.
