Question 826457
{{{9&5/8 - 3&3/4}}}
I highly recommend that arithmetic with mixed numbers be avoided. Just change the mixed numbers into improper fractions, do the arithmetic with the fractions and then reduce and change improper fractions back to mixed numbers or integers.
{{{9&5/8 - 3&3/4 = (9*8+5)/8 - (3*4+3)/4 = (72+5)/8 - (12+3)/4 = 77/8 - 15/4 = 77/8 - (15/4)(2/2) = 77/8 - 30/8 = 47/8 = (40+7)/8 = 40/8 + 7/8 = 5&7/8}}}
