Daughter is in 5th grade and I have no idea how to solve this math problem!
5 3/4 – 6 3/4
Obv you cannot subtract 5 from 6. You also can’t borrow the 3 from the 5 and make it a new mixed number. What do you borrow from? I’ve googled and seriously cannot figure this out.

You have to simplify the problem to common terms or denominators (although its kind of already simplified).
So 5 3/4 becomes 23/4
And 6 3/4 becomes 27/4
23/4 – 27/4 is already in common terms so were good here.
The Answer becomes -4/4 which equals -1.
