One way in which to do this problem would involve subtracting 5 from 7 (result: 2) and then subtracting 3/5 from 8/9.
To subtract 3/5 from 8/9, you'd need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of 3/5 and 8/9, convert both fractions to have this LCD, and then subtract.
The LCD is (5)(9)=45. Then 8/9 and 3/5 become 40/45 and 27/45.
Subtracting 27/45 from 40/45 results in the fraction 13/45.
Then the full solution is 2 13/45.
You could also do this problem by converting 7 8/9 and 5 3/5 into improper fractions:
71/9 - 28/5. Again, the LCD is 45. Can you rewrite both fractions with 45 as the common denominator and then perform the subtraction?
3a to the power of 2 plus 5a minus 2
Answer: 348.8 miles on 16 gallons of gas
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the following proportion:
= 
Since the car consumes gas at the same rate and only the amount of gas is changed, these two fractions must be equivalent. If the rate at which the car consumes gas changes, it would be different.
Use basic algebraic skills and you should get 348.8 miles.
