You need to change 16 to 15 7/7.

16 2/7
-10
______________
you would have to change 10 into 9 and and put 7/7
so it would be like this
16 2/7
-10 7/7 but you would have take something to make it a problem
No.

15 7/7 - 10 2/7 = 5 5/7
but what if the problem is 16 2/7 - 10
If that's the problem, then the answer is 6 2/7

10 + 6 2/7 = 16 2/7
