The first step to solving this is converting these mixed numbers into improper fractions. You would do that by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator to that number; this number replaces the numerator. It would look something like this:
1 8/10 --> 18/10
2 2/5 --> 12/5
Now, to subtract the second fraction from the first one, the denominators of both fractions must be the same. We can make them the same by multiplying the second fraction by 2:
12/5 * 2/2 = 24/10
Now we can set up the equation as:
18/10 - 24/10 = -6/10 --> -3/5
The answer is negative 3/5.
I hope this helps.

Answer:
28 short race volunteers
76 long race volunteers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Short races = a
Long races = b
LAST YEAR:
7a + 8b = 804 - - - - (1)
THIS YEAR:
11a + 5b = 688 - - - (2)
Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 8
35a + 40b = 4020
88a + 40b = 5504
Subtract
-53a = - 1484
a = 1484 / 53
a = 28
Put a = 28 in equation (1)
7(28) + 8b = 804
196 + 8b = 804
8b = 804 - 196
8b = 608
b = 76
