Answer:
3 7/12
Explanation:
First find the common denominator.
8,16,24
3,6,9,12,15,18,24
Once you find the common denominator. You have to fix the numerator.
7 2/8 would become 7 6/24
Whole numbers stay the same.
8 x 3 = 24
2 x 3 = 6
Now we repeat it on the other mixed number.
3 2/3 would become 3 16/24
Again whole numbers stay the same.
3 x 8 = 24
2 x 8 = 16
Once you convert the fractions to having the same denominator you subtract like normal.
7 6/24 - 3 16/24 = 3 14/24
3 14/24 can be simplified to 3 7/12
