You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please help. 7/8 - 9/20
 Find a common denominator.
 The product always works, 8*20 = 160
 7/8 - 9/20 = 140/160 - 720/160 = - 580/160
 = -29/8
 -----------------
 7 1/3- 4 5/12
 Change to improper fractions
 7 1/3- 4 5/12 = 22/3 - 53/12
 Do it like the 1st one.
 ------------------
 9 2/5- 1 1/4
 Same as the 2nd one.
