Answer: 7 9/20

Turn 14 1/4 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 14*4 and get 56. Now add 1 and get 57.

14 1/4 = 57/4

Turn 6 4/5 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 6*5 and get 30. Now add 4 and get 34.

6 4/5 = 34/5

Your new problem should be: 57/4 - 34/5

Subtract

57/4 - 34/5 = 149/20

Turn 149/20 into a Mixed Number

149 ÷ 20 = 7.45

7.45 = 7 9/20
