Answer:

95/63 or 1 32/63

Explanation:

turn the fraction into a mixed number/improper fraction

65/9-40/7

find a common denominator which in this case is 63

so, the first fraction you will multiply the numerator and denominator by 7 to get

455/63

then the second fraction multiply the numerator and the denominator by 9

360/63

then you would subtract the two numerators KEEP THE DENOMINATOR THE SAME

455/63-360/63=95/63
