8 3/7 - 2 4/5=

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First covert the mixed fractions into fractions.

= 8 3/7 = 8*7+3 = 59/ 7                        

= 2 4/5 = 2*5+4= 14/  5

Then, find the LCM of 7 and 5 is 35

= 59/ 7* 5 = 295 / 35

= 14 / 5* 7 = 98/35

= (Additive inverse of 98 / 5 is -98/ 5)

= 295/ 35 - (-98/ 35) = 393/35

(no simplest form)
