To find out the answer you need to convert 7 3/8 and 5 1/6 to and improper fraction by multiplying the bottom number by the whole number and then add the top number to overall answer e.g 7 3/8 would be 8 x 7 = 56 + 3 = 59 which would be 59/8

You will need to do this for both mixed numbers then do the operation by creating the same bottom number this can be made simple if you multiply the two bottom numbers and taking away the two top numbers but keep the bottom number the same. If you need to simplify the answer then do so.
