To subtract 258\u2212782 \\frac{5}{8} – \\frac{7}{8}285\u200b\u221287\u200b, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:<\/strong>258=2\u00d78+58=16+58=2182 \\frac{5}{8} = \\frac{2 \\times 8 + 5}{8} = \\frac{16 + 5}{8} = \\frac{21}{8}285\u200b=82\u00d78+5\u200b=816+5\u200b=821\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Subtract the fractions:<\/strong>218\u221278=21\u221278=148\\frac{21}{8} – \\frac{7}{8} = \\frac{21 – 7}{8} = \\frac{14}{8}821\u200b\u221287\u200b=821\u22127\u200b=814\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Simplify the result:<\/strong>148=74=134\\frac{14}{8} = \\frac{7}{4} = 1 \\frac{3}{4}814\u200b=47\u200b=143\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
