25/28 - 2/7
it doesn’t need to be solved because it asked for an expression and not an equation, so no equal sign either

Well to subtract 2/7 from 25/28 you would first have make the denominator the same. So to do that you can multiply 2/7 times four to get 14/28. Now you do 25/28-14/28 and that would be 11/28. Hope I helped!!
