    Answer:

    1\frac{7}{8}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to find the answer to this question you must convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions and then subtract.

    5\frac{1}{2} -3\frac{5}{8}

    Convert into improper fractions

    5\frac{1}{2} =2\times5+1=\frac{11}{2}

    3\frac{5}{8} =8\times3+5=\frac{29}{8}

    Now subtract by finding the common denominator:

    \frac{11}{2} \times 4 = \frac{44}{8}

    \frac{29}{8} \times1=\frac{29}{8}

    44 -29=15

    =\frac{15}{8} /1\frac{7}{8}

    Hope this helps.
