Answer:

2 2/7

Explanation:

First change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

When you do so, the expression becomes

29/7 - 13/7

Look for the LCM of the denominators.

The LCM = 7

Now divide the denominators by 7 and multiply the results by the numerator. The LCM also becomes the denominator of the results.

When you do so , you’ll arrive at

29 - 13 /7

16/7

2 2/7
