✓

Answer

$\begin{aligned} & 7 \frac{1}{8}-6 \frac{1}{10} \\ & 7 \frac{1}{8}-6 \frac{1}{10}=\frac{7 \times 8+1}{8}-\frac{6 \times 10+1}{10} \\ & =\frac{56+1}{8}-\frac{60+1}{10} \\ & =\frac{57}{8}-\frac{61}{10} \\ & =\frac{57 \times 5}{8 \times 5}-\frac{61 \times 4}{10 \times 4} \\ & =\frac{285}{40}-\frac{244}{40} \\ & =\frac{285-244}{40}=\frac{41}{40} \\ & 7 \frac{1}{8}-6 \frac{1}{10}=1 \frac{1}{40} \\ & \end{aligned}$
