The answer I got is 3.4888 (repeat)
Fraction: 157/45

Steps:

I turned the fractions into improper fractions.

So 7 5/9 turned into 44/9 and 3 2/15 turned into 21/15

I did that by doing 7*5 = 35+9 = 44
Same with the other one, 3*2 = 6+15 = 15

I then found a common denominator which was 45

I multiplied the first fraction, bottom and top by 5 and the second fraction, bottom and top by 3

I got 220/45 - 63/45 = 157/45

Hopefully that’s correct and I could help
