Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

Let the missing value be x.

Therefore,


6 (1)/(2) - 1 (x)/(16) = 4 (7)/(8) \\ \\ (6 * 2 + 1)/(2) - (16 * 1 + x)/(16) = (4 * 8 + 7)/(8) \\ \\ (13)/(2) - (16 + x)/(16) = (39)/(8) \\ \\ (13 * 8)/(2 * 8) - (16 + x)/(16) = (39 * 2)/(8 * 2) \\ \\ (104)/(16) - (16 + x)/(16) = (78)/(16) \\ \\ (104 - 16 - x)/(16) = (78)/(16) \\ \\ 88 - x = 78 \\ \\ 88 - 78 = x \\ \\ x = 10
