Answer:

Break the numbers apart.

5 2/7 is still equal to 5 + 2/7

We know that 2/7 + 5/7 equals 1

So we want to make a whole number so the answer is already a random number + 5/7

So we already know that it’s gonna make 1, then we subtract.

8-1 = 7
And then the whole number
7-5 =2

So the answer is 2 5/7
