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 “five and three quarters” minus “six and three quarters”. You can deal with the fractions part separately from the whole numbers part, so you have: (5 – 6) + (3/4 – 3/4). The fractions part is easy, it’s just 0, and 5-6 is -1.
