what you do is take 5 away from 3. No! Borrow 1 Whole (9) and makes it 9 13/8 - 8 5/8 then subtract the 2 fractions
[tex] \frac{13}{8} - \frac{5}{8} ...[/tex]
and that is
[tex] \frac{8}{8} [/tex]
then convert that into 1 whole. Now add the whole to the 9 and thats 10. Now, subtract the 2 whole numbers. 10-8=2 so the answer is 2
