it said "from", so let 1 1/3 be the minuend and let the 5/8 be the subtrahend change 1 1/3 into improper fraction first, which is 4/3 then look for their lcd, it is 24 4/3 - 5/8 to make if easier divide the lcd to the denominator first then multiply the quotient to the numerator. Do it to the both fractions. 32 - 15 17 ---------- = ------ 24 24 the answer is 17/24

then look for their lcd, it is 24
4/3 - 5/8
to make if easier divide the lcd to the denominator first then multiply the quotient to the numerator. Do it to the both fractions.
32 - 15 17
---------- = ------
24 24
the answer is 17/24
