First, find the LCD (Lowest Common Denominator)
7/8 - 2/5 =19/40
The lowest number that 8 and 5 will only divide into evenly is 40.
40/8=5 & 40/5=8
Second, multiply the top number by the same as the bottom number.
8*5=40 so 7*5=35 -> 7/8 = 35/40
Third, do the same for the other fraction in the equation.
5*8=40 so 2*8=16 -> 2/5 = 16/40
Fourth, now just subtract the top numbers.
35 16 19
---- - ---- = ---- is the solution.
40 40 40
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 2/5 + 7/8 = 1 11/40 or one and eleven fortieths. Expressed as a decimal fraction, this is equal to 1.275.
VES one fifth is equal to .200 while one eighth is equal to .125 therefore 2 fifths is equal to .400 while 2 eighths is equal to .250 .
Expressed as a decimal, 19/5 is equal to 3.8.
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 10.475 is equal to 10 19/40 or ten and nineteen fortieths.
Four sevenths of five eighths is equal to ten fortieths or one quarter.
19/40 is equal to 0.475
No. Two fifths is equal to 0.40, while five eighths is equal to .625

Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 10.475 is equal to 10 19/40 or ten and nineteen fortieths.
Four sevenths of five eighths is equal to ten fortieths or one quarter.
Since 0.475 is less than 1, there is no need to express it as a mixed fraction. Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, it is equal to 19/40 or nineteen fortieths.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 4/10 - 5/8 = -9/40 or negative nine fortieths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to -0.225.
Expressed as a mixed fraction in its simplest form, this is equal to 19 4/25 or nineteen and four twenty-fifths.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 0.76 is equal to 19/25 or nineteen twenty-fifths.
Two eighths equal a fourth.
