Find the common denominator... I think the first thing that 7 and 8 go into is 56... So..
8 32/56 - 5 35/56
or
480/56 - 315/56 = 165/56
or 2 53/56

8 4/7 = 60/7
5 5/8 = 45/8
480/56 - 315/56 = 165/56 = 2 53/56

thrilling difficulty! nicely 7*2 = 14 legs for the girls. 7*7 = 40 9 (the form of cats) * 4 = 196 cat legs There are 196 greater legs for the little cats. There are 406 legs assuming that between the girls is illegally driving the bus (or that no bus motive force is on the bus). There are 408 which contains the bus motive force.

translate the fraction into non-mixed, example: one and one half is the same thing as tree halves
make sure both fractions have a common denominator
subtract the numerators and put the new amount over the denominator and you have the answer.
