13/1 × 5/8 - 3/1 × 2/3

= 13×5 / 1×8 - 3×2 / 1×3

= 65/8 - 6/3

= 195/24 - 48/24

=147/24

=49/8

first let’s just subtract the whole numbers. 13 5/8 -3= 10 5/8

next let’s find the LCM, or least common multiple of the denominators for the fractions. 10 5/8 = 10 15/24
2/3= 16/24

now last, subtract these new fractions.
10 15/24 - 16/24 = 9 23/24
