The simplest way to do this is to get it into improper fraction form with the same denominator.
First things first, get it into an improper fraction.
7 7/8 = 7*8+7/8 3 1/4 = 3*4+1/4
= 56+7/8 = 12+1/4
= 63/8 = 13/4
The next thing to do is to get the denominators the same by finding the LCF, which could be done by dividing the 63/8 by 4, which would give a decimal as a numerator, so its best to multiply 13/4 by two
The two fraction will then be:
63/8 and 26/8
Seeing as the denominators are the same, you can simply subtract the numerators and simplify, i.e.
63-26/8 = 37/8
= 4 5/8
Hope this makes sense :D

Answer: 60 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
It takes ferry 2 hours to travel to town A and only 
to travel back to town B.
Speed of current is 
Suppose the speed of the ferry is 
mph
Distance traveled in both the cases is same, but it took more time traveling to city A that is, ferry is moving upstream and downstream for returning time.
Distance between the towns is
