Leave your answer in simplest form in the form of a/b − c/d

If one of your numbers is a whole number, put a 1 in that denominator

Respuesta :

well what i got was:

the exact form: 233/28

decimal form: 7.96428571...

mixed number form: 7 27/28

not sure if this is right at all but i hope it helps at least a little

hi

1/7 * (56 -1/4) =   56/7 - 1/28  =   224/28 - 1/28 =  223 /28  

as 223 is  prime, it's cannot be simplified.   however  it 7 +27/28
