$= \frac{20}{7} = 2 \frac{6}{7}$ $color(magenta)(=20/7=2 6/7$

$8 - 5 \frac{1}{7}$ $8-5 1/7$

$= \frac{8}{1} - \frac{36}{7}$ $=8/1-36/7$

$Let us convert both the fractions to have the same denominator:$ $"Let us convert both the fractions to have the same denominator:"$

$= \frac{8 \times 7}{1 \times 7} - \frac{36 \times 1}{7 \times 1}$ $=(8xx7)/(1xx7)-(36xx1)/(7xx1)$

$= \frac{56}{7} - \frac{36}{7}$ $=56/7-36/7$

$= \frac{20}{7} = 2 \frac{6}{7}$ $color(magenta)(=20/7=2 6/7$
