What is 8 and one seventh minus 4 and 4 fifth?

Answer 1

8 1/7 - 4 4/5= ?

change 8 1/7 into improper fraction, which is 57/7

and change 4 4/5 into improper fraction, which is 24/5

now what is the lowest common multiple, 35

so 57x5=285/7x5=35, 285/35

and 24x5=120/5x7=35, 120/35

285/35 - 120/35= 165/ 35

now change 165/35 into a mixed number, so 35x4= 140 with 25 left over, so the answer is 4 25/35.
