We have the same denominator....therefore, we can subtract them and leave the denominator.

71-62= 9

9/5

Now we simplify

9/5, 9 goes into 5, one time.
1
9-5=4

1 4/5 is the answer

Our final answer : 1 4/5

If you would like to calculate 71/5 - 62/5, you can do this using the following steps:

71/5 - 62/5 = (71 - 62) / 5 = 9/5 = 1 4/5

The correct result would be 1 4/5.
