Answer: [tex]5\frac{19}{16}[/tex]
Turn 7 3/4 into an Improper Fraction
Multiply 7*4 and get 28. Now add 3 and get 31.
7 3/4 = 31/4
Turn 2 3/16 into an Improper Fraction
Multiply 2*16 and get 32. Now add 3 and get 35.
2 3/16 = 35/16
Your new problem should be: 31/4-35/16
Subtract
[tex]\frac{31}{4} -\frac{35}{16}=\frac{89}{16}[/tex]
Turn 89/16 into a Mixed Number
[tex]\frac{89}{16} =5\frac{19}{16}[/tex]
