Step-by-step explanation: First you would want to make 9 3/4 - 2 1/5 to 39/4 - 11/5. We need to get the LCD or Least Common denominator of 4 and 5, which is 20. The rule is what you multiplied the denominator by you must multiply the numerator by, so our new equation is 195/20 - 44/20, which is 151/20. Now, we have to find the LCD of 2 and 20, which is 10. So 151/20 + 10/20 is 161/20 or 8 1/20.
