10/7 - 149/140 =​

First, find the least common denominator (bottom numbers)

7 and 140 =

LCM = 140

Multiply the top and bottom number od the first fraction by 20


((10)/(7)*(20)/(20))-(149)/(140)
(200)/(140)-(149)/(140)

Now that both fractions have the same denominator (140) simply subtract the top numbers


((200-149))/(140)
(51)/(140)
