Answer:

1 17/40

Step-by-step explanation:

2 5/8 - 1 1/5

Find the LCD or the least common denominator of 5/8 and 1/5.

8(denominator) - 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

5(denominator) - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

40 is the LCD, therefore...

5/8

40(LCD) ÷ 8(denominator) = 5 x 5(numerator) = 25/40

1/5

40(LCD) ÷ 5(denominator) = 8 x 1(numerator) = 8/40

Change 5/8 into 25/40, and 1/5 into 8/40.

Therefore...

2 25/40 - 1 8/40

= 1 17/40 is the answer.

I hope my explanation helps. :>
