Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem using mixed numbers, you'd first subtract the whole numbers first.

  • 8 - 1 = 7

After subtacting the whole numbers, you'd then subtract the fractions

  • 4/5 - 2/5 = 2/5

If you're wondering why it's 2/5, it's because the denominator remains the same while the numerator provides us the difference.

Your answer will then be: 7 and 2/5

I hope this helped!
