Question

Need help!! I have no clue

Answer 1

Answer:

41 over 24

Step-by-step explanation:

7 2/3 can be "translated" into 3 times 7 plus 2 which is 22, so now it's 22 over 3.

5 5/8 can be "translated" into 8 times 5 plus five is forty five, so now it's 45 over 8.

We now need a common denominator.

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24

24 are both multiples of 8 and 3.

Now you have to multiply 22 and 8 because 3 times 8 equals 24 and so you have to do it to the numerator.

22*8=176

Now you have to multiply 45 and 3 since 8 times 3 equals 24 and so you have to do it to the numerator, too.

45*3=135

All you have to do now is subtract 176 from 135 which is 41
