Answer:
3077 /56 ( can convert into mixed fraction )
Explanation:
Knox saving = 56 dollars
Money he spent for baseball cleats= 3/7
Money he spent for baseball bat = 5/8
Total money he spent = 3/7 +5/8 ( LCM of 7 and 8 = 56)
= 3/7 × 8/8 + 5/8×7/7
= 24/56 + 35/56
= 59/56
Money left with him = 56/1 - 59/56
= 3077/56
