We will write it as a fraction in ordet to solve, that is:


((1(2)/(7)-(3)/(14)))/(((8)/(15)))

We then operate as follows:


((((7)/(7)+(2)/(7))-(3)/(14)))/(((8)/(15)))\Rightarrow(((9)/(7)-(3)/(14)))/(((8)/(15)))\Rightarrow(((15)/(14)))/(((8)/(15)))\Rightarrow(15\cdot15)/(14\cdot8)\Rightarrow(225)/(112)

We have this, since 1 integer will be equal as a numerator divided by a denominator with equal values. Examples 1 = 2/2, 1 = 45/45, ...
