What is `7 1/5 - 6 2/5`?

Answer 1

`4/5`

Explanation:

First, lets convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions.

This is done by multiplying the denominator and whole number, and adding the numerator. This value is the new numerator, and the denominator stays the same. We get

`36/5-32/5`

Since we have the same denominator, we can subtract the numerators to get

`4/5`
