A) 3 5/8

Answer:

Option A is correct

[tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract:

[tex]10 - 6\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

First convert mixed fraction [tex]6\frac{3}{8}[/tex] into proper fraction.

[tex]6\frac{3}{8} = \frac{8 \cdot 6 + 3}{8} = \frac{48+3}{8} = \frac{51}{8}[/tex]

then;

[tex]\frac{10}{1}-\frac{51}{8}[/tex]

Taking LCM of 1 and 8 is, 8.

⇒[tex]\frac{80-51}{8} = \frac{29}{8}[/tex]

⇒[tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, after subtracting [tex]10 - 6\frac{3}{8}[/tex] we get, [tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
