Answer 1

To subtract the given values, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

9 7/10 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:
9 7/10 = (9 * 10 + 7) / 10 = 97/10

6 1/4 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:
6 1/4 = (6 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 25/4

Now, we can subtract the two fractions:
97/10 - 25/4

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The common denominator of 10 and 4 is 20.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 2:
(97 * 2) / (10 * 2) = 194/20

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 5:
(25 * 5) / (4 * 5) = 125/20

Now, we can subtract the fractions:
194/20 - 125/20 = (194 - 125) / 20 = 69/20

So, the difference is 69/20 or 3 9/20.
