The answer is 7 3/4.

Turn into improper fraction

= 77/8 - 15/8

= ((77 * 8) - (15 * 8)) / (8 * 8)

= (616 - 120) / 64

= 496/64

= 31/4

First, I would convert it an improper fraction. 9 5/8 = 77/8 1 7/8 = 15/8 77 - 15 = 62. The denominator stays the same. 62/8. Divide to make it a mixed number. 62/8 = 7 6/8 Simplified to = 7 3/4
