Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$-\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use this rule: $a \times \frac{b}{c} =\frac{ab}{c} .$

$\frac{6\times3}{8} -5\times\frac{5}{8}$

2) Simplify 6 × 3 to 18.

$\frac{18}{8} -5\times\frac{5}8}$

3) Simplify $\frac{18}{8}$ to $\frac{9}{4}$.

$\frac{9}{4} -5\times\frac{5}{8}$

4) Use this rule: $a\times\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ab}{c} .$

$\frac{9}{4} -\frac{5\times5}{8}$

5) Simplify 5 × 5 to 25.

$\frac{9}{4} -\frac{25}{8}$

6) Simplify.

$-\frac{7}{8}$
