Let's change the decimal to a fraction.
1.75 = 1 3/4
Next we need a common denominator -- which is 28.
2 2/7 = 2 8/28
1 3/4 = 1 21/28
2 8/28 - 1 21/28 = 1 36/28 - 1 21/28 = 15/28
1.75 = 1 3/4
Next we need a common denominator -- which is 28.
2 2/7 = 2 8/28
1 3/4 = 1 21/28
2 8/28 - 1 21/28 = 1 36/28 - 1 21/28 = 15/28
