Answer:

8 2/45

Step-by-step explanation:

• 8 3/5 -> 43/5 (make improper fraction to remove whole number, then find LCD of 43/5 and 5/9 to make their denominators alike, so you can now proceed to subtraction)

• 387/45 - 25/45 = 362/45 (simplify: turn improper fraction to mixed fraction)

• 362/45 -> 8 2/45
