Question 627379
{{{2&2/5-1&3/4}}}


{{{2&2/5-(1&3/4)}}}


{{{2+2/5-(1+3/4)}}}


{{{2(5/5)+2/5-(1(4/4)+3/4)}}}


{{{10/5+2/5-(4/4+3/4)}}}


{{{(10+2)/5-((4+3)/4)}}}


{{{12/5-7/4}}}


So {{{2&2/5-1&3/4 = 12/5-7/4}}} 


Let's keep going...


{{{12/5-7/4}}}


{{{(12/5)(4/4)-(7/4)(5/5)}}}


{{{(12*4)/(5*4)-(7*5)/(4*5)}}}


{{{48/20-35/20}}}


{{{(48-35)/20}}}


{{{13/20}}}


=============================================================================

Answer: 


So in the end, {{{2&2/5-1&3/4=13/20}}}
