$29\frac{5}{13}-8\frac{2}{13}$

$21\frac{3}{13}$

$22\frac{3}{13}$

$23\frac{3}{13}$

$21\frac{7}{13}$

$22\frac{7}{13}$

Explanation

When we subtract mixed numbers, we subtract whole numbers by whole numbers and fractions by fractions.

$\frac{5}{13}-\frac{2}{13}=\frac{3}{13}$

Remember, when we are subtracting fractions we must have common denominators and we only subtract the numerators.
