Rewrite then solve

Explanation:

We can rewrite the fraction as:

#61/4 - 97/7#

now we just give it the same denominator and solve:

#(7/7)(61/4) - (4/4)(97/7)# *note. since 7/7 and 4/4 are both one we aren't actually changing the value of the fractions.

#427/28-388/28#

#39/28# is out final solution
