Answer:
3 11/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
8 2/5 = 42/5
4 2/3 = 14/3
Find a common denominator (15) and rewrite each fraction:
(42/5) - (14/3) = (126/15) - (70/15) = 56/15
Express the result as a mixed number:
56/15 = 3 11/15
So, 8 2/5 - 4 2/3 = 3 11/15.
