Given:


(9)/(4)-(7)/(5)

Here, we are to perform the subtraction o fractions.

To subtract the fractions, find the Lowest common multiple of the denominators.

LCM of 4 and 5 = 20

Divide the LCM by each denominator and multiply by their respective numerators.

Thus, we have:


\begin{gathered} (9)/(4)-(7)/(5) \\ \\ (5(9)-4(7))/(20) \\ \\ =(45-28)/(20) \\ \\ =(17)/(20) \end{gathered}

ANSWER:


C\text{. }(17)/(20)
