Answer:
[tex]1\frac{2}{15}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8\frac{4}{5} -7\frac{2}{3}=[/tex]
Change the mixed number fraction to improper fraction
[tex]\frac{44}{5} -\frac{23}{3}[/tex]
Find the LCM of 3 and 5
LCM = 15
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal to the LCD.
[tex](\frac{44}{5} \times \frac{3}{3} )-(\frac{23}{3} \times \frac{5}{5} )[/tex]
[tex]\frac{132}{15} -\frac{115}{15}[/tex]
Now that these 2 fractions have the same denominator, we can now subtract them like fractions with the same denominator
[tex]\frac{132-115}{15}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{17}{15}[/tex]
Simplify the fraction by converting it back to a mixed number
[tex]1\frac{2}{15}[/tex]
Since we can't simplify this fraction this is now our final answer
