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?
1/2r - 3 = 3(4-3/2) -----> Simplify the right side.
1/2r - 3 = 3(1/2) -----> Multiply
1/2r - 3 = 3/2 ----> Add 3 to both sides
1/2r = 6/2 + 3/2
1/2r = 9/2 -----> Divide both sides by 1/2 which is the same as multiplying my 2
r = 18/2
r = 9

-15+6= -9
-9+6= -3
-3+6=3
add 6
Okay! Let's write out all the numbers:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
Now, let's bold (or you can circle them... or do really anything to them as long as they are standing out to you) the even numbers (remember all even numbers are divisible by 2)
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
Now let's list all the ones we highlighted:
2
4
6
8
10
12
14
Count up how many numbers that is.
You should get 7.
So, our answer is 7 out of 15 numbers.
Or as a fraction:
7/15 is our answer.
Note: A probability is the number of chances something has to happen out of the total number of chances. So in this case the number of even numbers out of the total number of numbers. You can apply this to any probability problem. Hope this helps!
