Answer 2

Answer: 3 3/8

Explanation:

We know that for example 2/4=4/8 so it is multiplied by 2. In this problem the fractions are 2 2/4 and 6 1/8. We are subtracting so you would first multiply the fraction that’s going to subtracted from the other fraction 2 3/4= 2 6/8. Now that we have our fractions we can subtract 6 1/8-2 6/8 this would leave us with 3.375 which is equal to 3 3/8.
