# 35/8 or4 3/8#

Write #7# and #1 3/5# both as improper fractions then set up the numbers as a compound fraction then simplify

# 7 = 7/1 #

# 1 3/5 = 8/5#

Therefore complete the calculation:

#7/1-:8/5#

When you divide Fractions, You flip the second number like so:

# 7/1 xx 5/8# You then multiply across normally and the result this gives the answer of

# 35/8# an improper fraction simplifying by dividing by 8 gives

#4 3/8#
