Answer:
6 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
15 1/8 - 8 3/4
First convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
(To do so, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the result to the numerator)
15 1/8 becomes 121/8
8 3/4 becomes 35/4
Then you need to make the numerators the same so multiply the numerator and denominator of 35/4 by 2 to get a common factor so you can subtract.
You now have 121/8 and 70/8.
Subtract 70 from 121 to get 51/8.
Simplify 51/8 to get 6 3/8 as your answer.
Hope this helps!
