What is 5 7/8 - 1/4

I got an answer of 23/2 did I do this right or what di I do wrong?

6 answers

5 7/8 - 2/8 = 5 5/8
5 7/8 - 1/4
= 47/8 - 2/8
= 45/8 or 5 5/8
I just figured out what I did wrong the answer is 45/8
Don't you like the answers that Reiny and I gave you?
Oh! I see now how you got 5 and 5/8 this makes sense now.

Thank you
You're welcome. :-)
