what does 5 1/4 - 1 7/8 equal?

That was very nice, saseflower......!!!!

well you have to make sure both numbers have the same denominators

5 1/4 - 1 7/8

multiply 1/4 by 2/2

5 2/8 - 1 7/8

now subtract

3 3/8

and there's your answer!

p.s. dont forget when you borrow from the 5, instead of adding 10 you add the denominator so you would add 8
