Answer:


\large\boxed{D.\ w=-2(3)/(4)}

Explanation:


w+2(3)/(8)=5(1)/(8)\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2(3)/(8)\ \text{from both sides}\\\\w+2(3)/(8)-2(3)/(8)=5(1)/(8)-2(3)/(8)\\\\w=4(8+1)/(8)-2(3)/(8)\\\\w=4(9)/(8)-2(3)/(8)\\\\w=2(6)/(8)\\\\w=2(6:2)/(8:2)\\\\w=2(3)/(4)

Answer:

w = 2 3/4

Explanation:

5 1/8 - 2 3/8

since 1 can't be subtracted from 3, you take it from the whole number

you then add one whole to the numerator (since it is over 8, you add 8)

4 9/8 - 2 3/8

2 6/8

simplify the fraction

2 3/4
