For this case we must simplify the following expression:


\frac {\frac {7} {8} + (- \frac {2} {3})} {\frac {5} {6}} =

We know that:
+ * - = -

So:


\frac {\frac {7} {8} - \frac {2} {3}} {\frac {5} {6}} =

We solve the subtraction of the numerator:


\frac {\frac {3 * 7-8 * 2} {8 * 3}} {\frac {5} {6}} =\\\frac {\frac {21-16} {24}} {\frac {5} {6}} =\\\frac {\frac {5} {24}} {\frac {5} {6}} =

Applying double c:


\frac {5 * 6} {24 * 5} =\\\frac {30} {120} =\\\frac {1} {4}

Answer:


\frac {1} {4}
