Question 773133: I'm 52, with a grade school math level trying to get up to near high school level before I enter college this fall. Trying to learn fractions, and do ok now with add, subtract, multiply and divide (whether mixed or improper or proper). HOWEVER, I am completely stumped when it comes to positive and negative numbers with fractions. I realize this must be a very easy answer for you, but here's an example, and I need to understand EACH STEP of the way, since how I've been doing it when all positive numbers isn't coming up with the correct answer.
(-3 5/8) - 4 2/5 = ?
I've got one source that says the answer is -8 1/40 and another that claims -7 9/40 is correct. My own answers vary greatly as I'm totally confused.
