Solution
`9 1/4 - 5/4` = 8.
Explanation:
We have,
`9 1/4 - 5/4 = (9 xx 4 + 1)/4 - 5/4` ...`[((because "Mixed fraction" = "Improper fraction"),(= ("Whole number" xx "Denomiantor" + "Numerator")))/("Denominator")]`
= `37/4 - 5/4`
= `(37 - 5)/4`
= `32/4`
= `(32 ÷ 4)/(4 ÷ 4)` ...[∵ HCF of 32 and denominator 4 is 4]
= 8
