we have

1 3/8=1+3/8=11/8

1/3+11/8

Find equivalent fractions

multiply 1/3 by 8/8 ------> 8/24

multiply 11/8 by 3/3 -----> 33/24

so

8/24+33/24=41/24

Convert to mixed number

41/24=24/24=17/24=1 17/24

2 4/5=2+4/5=14/5

14/5-1/3

Find equivalent fractions

multiply 1/3 by 5/5 -----> 5/15

multiply 14/5 by 3/3 ----> 42/15

so

42/15-5/15=37/15

convert to mixed number

37/15=30/15+7/15=2+7/15=2 7/15
