5 9/16 = 5 9/16 = 4 25/16
-3 3/4 = -3 12/16 = -3 12/16

Therefore, 4 25/16 - 3 12/16 = 1 13/16

Answer 3

The answer is 1 and 13/16. Since the fraction of 9/16 associated with the 5 is smaller than the fraction of 12/16 associated with the -3, you basically borrow 1 from the 5 and this reduces the 5 to 4 and the borrowed 1 is 16/16 which you add to the 9/16 and you get 25/16.
