To subtract a fraction from a whole number, you first need to convert the whole number to a fraction. In this case, we have the whole number 3, which can be written as 3/1 (since any number divided by 1 equals itself). Now let's subtract the fraction 25/11 from 3/1.

Step 1: Find a common denominator
To subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. In this case, the denominator of the fraction 25/11 is 11, and the denominator of the fraction 3/1 is 1. To find a common denominator, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 11 and 1, which is 11.

Step 2: Convert the fractions to have the same denominator
To convert the fraction 25/11 to have a denominator of 11, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. In this case, multiply the numerator and denominator of 25/11 by 1, since 1 * 11 = 11.
So, 25/11 is equivalent to (25 * 1)/(11 * 1), which simplifies to 25/11.

Step 3: Subtract the fractions
Now that both fractions have the same denominator of 11, you can subtract them by subtracting their respective numerators. The new numerator will be the result of subtracting the numerators, and the denominator will remain the same.
Subtracting 25/11 from 3/1, we get:
(3 - 25)/11 = (-22)/11

Therefore, when you subtract the fraction 25/11 from 3, the result is -22/11.
