Answer:

Below

Explanation:

To add or subtract fractions ( or numbers with fractions in them) you HAVE to put the fractions into a common denominator form .....

Common denominator for 5 and 7 is 35

3 3/7 = 120/35

2 1/5 = 77/35

120/35 - 77/35 = ( 120 - 77) / 35 = 43/35 = 1 8/35

The answer is none of the answers are correct. First change the fractions to 24/7 and 11/5. Upscale 24/7 by 5 and 11/5 by 7. That gives 120/35 - 77/35. That is equal 43/35, which is 1 8/35
