$=> color(teen)(5(15/16)$

$(2(3/4) - (3/8)) / (2/5)$

$=> (2(6/8) - (3/8) ) / (2/5)$ making Denominator common for the terms in the numerator.

$=> ((22/8) - (3/8)) / (2/5)$

$=> ((22 - 3) / 8) * (5/2)$

$=> (19 * 5) / (8 * 2) = 95 / 16$

$=> color(teen)(5(15/16)$

As below.

$(2(3/4) - (3/8)) / (2/5)$

$=> (2(6/8) - (3/8) ) / (2/5)$ making Denominator common for the terms in the numerator.

$=> (2(6/8 - 3/8)) / (2/5) = 2((6-3)/8) * (5/2)$

$=> = 2(3/8) * (5/2)$

$=> (19/8)(5/2) = 95 / 16 = 5(15/16)$
