Answer:

one and three eighths. (1 3/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to make 9 a fraction as well = 9/1

And make 7⅝ and improper fraction. = 7 x 8 + 5 = 61/8

now you have to make the denominators the same.

9/1 x 8 = 72/8

= 72/8 - 61/8  = 11/8

change 11/8 into a proper fraction = one and three eighths. (1 3/8)


sunidhi453: sorry but how have you changed 11/8 to proper fraction?
lynndutoit123: you see how many times 8 can go into 11. Just 1 time, right? and then 3 remains. So 1 and 3/8. does that make sense?
sunidhi453: OK thank you now I understood
sunidhi453: but 13/8 is not proper fraction it is improper but we have to change it into proper so can we write 3/8
