Problem

Subtract. Then write the difference in lowest terms. \[ \begin{array}{r} 56 \frac{7}{8} \\ -37 \frac{3}{8} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :Subtract the whole numbers: \(56 - 37 = 19\)

Step 2 :Subtract the fractions: \(\frac{7}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{1}{2}\)

Step 3 :The result of the subtraction is \(19 \frac{1}{2}\)

Step 4 :This is already in its simplest form, so no further simplification is needed.

Step 5 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{19 \frac{1}{2}}\)
