Answer:

2 15/28

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will convert both mixed fractions into improper fractions.

5 1/4 becomes 21/4

2 5/7 becomes 19/7

21/4 - 19/7 does not work, so we must make the denominator the same

147/28 - 76/28 = 71/28

Now we convert back to a mixed number:

2 15/28

Answer: [tex]-11\frac{15}{28}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to Improper fractions

[tex]5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4} \\2\frac{5}{7} = \frac{19}{7} \\[/tex]

Find a lowest common multiple

lcm(4,7) = 28 (7 * 4)

since they are just multiplying each other, we can cross multiply

[tex]\frac{(21*7) - (19*4)}{4*7} = \frac{147-76}{28} \\= \frac{71}{28} \\=2\frac{15}{28}[/tex]
